Pleased to support this important work and continue the conversation to support the government ambition to raise the healthiest generation of children ever @RCPCHtweets @ncbtweets
Children’s health in England is in decline. Last week’s Budget made steps in the right direction, but failed to implement the systemic change needed. The Children and Young People's Health Policy Influencing Group's Roadmap, published today, outlines a way forward. (1/3)

Huge win for child health 🙌
The UK Government has announced a ban on disposable vapes! #CampaignWin We’ve been campaigning for bold action to tackle youth vaping and are delighted governments across the UK have listened our calls to protect children’s health and the planet by banning these products. 1/2

Kier Starmer on @bbclaurak - "My conclusion is the only way out of this now is reform...to make the NHS fit for the future". As the Darzi review has shown, this needs to start with child health. Our blueprint for child health services is here to help 👇
ICYMI: yesterday @RCPCHtweets published a new policy report setting out our blueprint for child health services. It's packed full of ideas for the transformational change that's needed. Essential reading for anyone working in child health! #RCPCHblueprint
