Prof. Kevin Fenton

In the last week of his Presidency, @profkevinfenton.bsky.social reflects on the new paradigm for public health.

“This is not a time to only look at delivering our programmes. We have to look horizontally and be able to build coalitions in an increasingly complex world.”

It’s easier than you think to get and take an HIV test, whether you use a sexual health clinic, a GP, or prefer the convenience of using an at-home test kit.

The sooner you know your HIV status, the sooner you can get on treatment and avoid passing on the virus.

National HIV Testing Week is back and it’s never been easier to test for HIV. This week, we’re calling on people across England to test - it’s free and confidential. It’s also the only way to know if you have HIV and worth doing because people can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms.

@rcpsych.bsky.social Dean Professor Subodh Dave, FPH President @profkevinfenton.bsky.social and StR Dr Cathy Gregory explored the perceptions of psychiatrists and public health professionals around public mental health to think through how these sectors can work together and strengthen connections.

The public health family must come together with cross-sector partners and communities to support the creation of the best conditions for good mental health and wellbeing to thrive.

We need to embed mental health approaches in clinical and public health practice.
