This weekend, The Guardian highlighted the urgent need for a stronger NHS response to domestic abuse. If anyone knows how urgent this is, it’s us.

@Anja_Popp Following your article from yesterday highlighting the report from @STagainstDA_ & the NHS failing domestic abuse. Can I please direct you to @irisintervent who have been training healthcare professionals in domestic abuse for many years. Funding is the real issue!

We must learn from loss, but also from experience in responding to domestic abuse within healthcare settings https://t.co/T5zb7SXGGd

The @NHSuk 10-Year Plan barely mentions domestic abuse. Labour wants to halve VAWG - but how, if health isn’t part of the solution? We know IRIS works. Fund it. Scale it. Listen: https://t.co/okoEieSSgA

Domestic abuse is a public health emergency. The question is no longer what to do; it’s whether we will get funding for what already works.

So why isn’t this happening everywhere? Because commissioning is patchy, and sustainable funding is missing. Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) hold the key, but they’re under-resourced, and domestic abuse too often gets pushed down the list.

Through IRIS (in general practice) and ADViSE (in sexual health settings), we’ve trained over 4,600 clinicians in the past year alone, working in partnership with 38 specialist services operating locally. In 2023–24, nearly 16,000 women were identified and supported.

We don’t need to invent a solution. We have one. It works.

What the coverage didn’t say: ➡️The NHS is aware of a national, evidence-based model called IRIS. ➡️IRIS is recommended in NICE guidance and proven to improve outcomes. ➡️However, it’s not being adequately funded and remains at the mercy of short-term commissioning cycles.

At IRISi Interventions, we’ve been delivering that response for over a decade. We don’t just agree with the article. We’ve been doing the work it calls for.

Important new research on the impact of domestic abuse on victim's brain health and why our response must treat it as a public health emergency. If you're a survivor and concerned by these findings do reach out for medical support and advice.

Every few years, we see another report on how the healthcare system can support domestic abuse victims/survivors. @irisintervent already provides an evidenced based solution, impacting both sectors and patients experiencing domestic abuse. They need less talk and more funding!
The @guardian covers our call for the NHS to do more to save lives from domestic abuse. 89% of DA-Related Death reviews in 2024 included health recommendations. Around two thirds called for DA training for health professionals. https://t.co/tUCi6Zu8sj
