In his latest blog post, Dr Jed Boardman looks at a recently published report by the Centre for Mental Health. The report, A Mentally Healthier Nation, represents the combined efforts of many of the UK’s largest organisations that have an interest in mental health to outline a plan to address the mental health of the nation.

The recent publication of a report by the The Lancet Commission on Peaceful Societies through Health Equity and Gender Equality gives Dr Jed Boardman food for thought. He looks at how the recommendations of this report might be beneficial in helping the UK’s current ‘polycrisis’.

Dr Jed Boardman uses the occasion of the National Health Service’s 75th anniversary to reflect on how mental health services have developed in the period since the NHS was founded.
