The FASD community worldwide thanks Prof Larry Burd for helping people with FASD not only to be seen but to be better understood and better supported. His research has given us all solid foundations to continue this life-changing work. With best wishes for a well earned and happy retirement!

The reduction in #ASGSF will have a significant negative impact. It is increasingly urgent that #NHS bodies commission #FASD diagnosis and support and that Government establish an FASD Prevention and Response Fund equivalent to 0.2% of the alcohol duty. nationalfasd.org.uk/national-fas...

It's been 6 months since @nationalfasd.bsky.social published the #FASDNotCommissioned Report which highlighted the lack of progress in meeting NICE QS 204 by NHS Trusts and ICBs across the UK. nationalfasd.org.uk/not-commissi... We applaud those areas who have taken positive steps since this report.
