Around 0.5% of the adult population in England experience problems gambling, 3.8% are at elevated risk of gambling harms and an estimated 7% are negatively affected by someone else’s gambling. NICE has published NG248 – its first recommendations on gambling, covering the identification, assessment and treatment of people over the age of 18 who are experiencing gambling-related harms. The recommendations are also for people of any age affected by someone close to them who is experiencing gambling that harms. In this episode, Dr Roger Henderson looks at some of the key points in the guideline as well as the pharmacological options that are recommended if required.
