Not in Edinburgh, but definitely Director of @SHAAPalcohol, trustee for @apexscotland own opinions etc.

[SHAAP @SHAAPAlcohol]

When people think of alcohol problems, they picture extremes. But dependency often starts quietly.

A daily glass?
No alcohol-free days?
Needing more to feel the same?

This nails all the arguments. Good health is good for the economy.

SHAAP statement on article on charity funding in today's Sunday Times.

[Elinor Jayne @EdinburghElle]

Not only is the Sunday Times just plain wrong in relation to SHAAP, but we regularly criticise Scot Gov alcohol policy (or lack of it). Here we are in last week’s Scotsman, taking apart the First Minister on duty:

Ahead of Scotland v Japan at Hampden later today ⚽️

A reminder that alcohol branding at major sporting events isn't just background noise - it's shaping young people's attitudes from an early age.

@RickPurves explains more 💡

[Elinor Jayne @EdinburghElle]

If they’ve not got one already the @ScotParl must introduce an alcohol in the workplace policy to try to reduce harassment. This is just horrendous. https://t.co/7fNRCWfGwU

Was fab to travel to a windy and rainy Portobello to speak to GP Rachel Phillips - she says she's not an expert in alcohol, but she's certainly an expert in helping patients and getting her message across. Resources are worth a look IMO. @SHAAPScotland

[The Doctor Magazine @TheDrMagazine]

What can GPs do when patients disclose significant problems with alcohol?

One GP shares how she worked with @SHAAPAlcohol and @RCGPScotland to create a set of down-to-earth and realistic resources, including a podcast.

‼️ Scottish Government published their new Alcohol & Drugs Strategic Plan today.

SHAAP's Dr Alastair MacGilchrist responds: the plan is welcome, but we need urgent action and firm commitments - particularly on treatment services.

Cabinet Secretary for Justice @AConstance23 committing that the issues SHAAP raised on alcohol harm in custody will continue to feature in her work with the Scottish Prison Service going forward.

@MaggieChapman using our evidence in yesterday's debate to challenge how we think about substance misuse in prisons...

"If 63% of the prisoner population has alcohol use disorder, that is not a prison problem, that is a public health emergency playing out behind closed doors."

[SHAAP @SHAAPAlcohol]

Today's Scottish Parliament debate on the prison substance misuse inquiry was encouraging.

Our briefing shaped how MSPs across parties discussed alcohol harm in custody - an issue that's been too long overlooked.

Thank you to Maree for being so open.

[Elinor Jayne @EdinburghElle]

If you want to hear an honest, uplifting and realistic account of what it’s like to have parents struggling with alcohol and their recovery journeys, this interview with @MareeToddMSP is more than worth a listen.

Millions will tune in to watch Scotland v England this weekend 🏉 Thousands of children will see alcohol brands promoted throughout. SHAAP Chair, Dr Alastair MacGilchrist explains our new research with @StirUni on why current regulations fail to protect young viewers

#SixNations

[SHAAP @SHAAPAlcohol]

@RickPurves at @StirlingUni breaks down the new research on alcohol advertising at sporting events and the effect it's having on young people in Scotland 👇

[Elinor Jayne @EdinburghElle]

A wake up call here: when your child or teenager sees zero alcohol brands plastered over the Six Nations they are actually seeing alcohol marketing. And this increases their chances of drinking earlier in life, and developing an alcohol problem.

Essential reading for incoming MSPs and Scottish Government👇. England had evidence-based alcohol marketing restrictions ready to go... The alcohol industry had them removed them in a week.

This is the same playbook they'll use in Scotland.

[SHAAP @SHAAPAlcohol]

This paper highlights that increasing MUP can reduce harm and but loses effectiveness if not increased over time - suggesting that governments who seek to introduce MUP should also consider automatic increases in the legislation.
