“22 medical colleges have sounded the alarm.”  Dr Becky Foljambe, HPFSS founder.   

The Times highlights growing pressure on the government to act on social media harms facing children with HPFSS, bereaved families and senior medical leaders all calling for urgent action.  A new Academy of Medical Royal Colleges (AoMRC) report has been submitted to the government consultation today on social media harms and children.

The AoMRC, representing 22 UK medical colleges and described as the largest voice of the medical profession in the UK, warned that children are being continuously exposed to “hateful, addictive and grossly distressing content”.
