AB - The treatment and support of people experiencing gambling-related harms is currently provided by a combination of a small number of specialist NHS clinics, private healthcare providers, voluntary and third sector providers, and some primary care gambling services with specialist GP input. The majority of these services have developed to respond to local and national demand with a lack of coordinated commissioning arrangements or agreed referral pathways. This lack of coordination and clear referral pathways may lead to inconsistencies in the ability to access treatment, whereby some people cannot or do not know how and where to access the help and support they need. In addition, people experiencing gambling-related harms may require support from mental health or substance use services, that complements the treatments offered for their gambling, and so it is important that integration of treatment services is considered. With the planned and ongoing expansion of NHS clinics there is an opportunity as part of the development of this guideline to create a more coherent and connected service, with a standardised governance structure. The aim of this review is to determine if there is evidence to support any care pathways or models of care for people experiencing gambling that harms.
