To fully exploit the potential of SPHR’s collective expertise and collaborative ethos, members are currently developing major School-wide programmes aimed at addressing three major public health challenges:

•     Alcohol
•     Ageing Well
•     Health Inequalities

Fuse is contributing to the following school-wide programmes:

Reducing alcohol-related health harms in an English contex:

• Work Package 1: New technologies for reducing excessive alcohol use
• Work Package 2: Developing screening and brief interventions in police custody settings
• Work Package 3: Risky sexual behaviour and alcohol misuse in young people

Ageing Well: an integrated public health approach to optimise health in older age groups:

• Inequitable access to preventive and therapeutic health interventions for older people and the consequences of Intervention-Generated Inequalities (IGIs).
• Welfare Benefits
