Dean's Grand Rounds - Gambling Disorder in the UK
Free Webinar - Thursday 11 December 2025, 4.00pm - 5.30pm
Overview
Gambling Disorder affects 0.4-2.4% of the population. It leads to numerous negative consequences, e.g. debt, unemployment, relationship breakdowns, homelessness, other mental health morbidities, physical health conditions (e.g. cardiovascular disease and obesity), and suicide. Yet, less than 5% of affected individuals ever receive an assessment, let alone evidence-based treatment. In the UK, the situation has rapidly changed in the past 1-2 years: gambling disorder is now a national NHS priority, NICE guidelines have recently been published, and fifteen regional clinical treatment services have been funded by NHSE to deliver evidence based treatment for gambling disorder across the country.
This symposium will provide a practical overview of Gambling Disorder, including recent advances in research, policy, and practice.
