"Matt Fossey has researched and written widely on health and veterans issues. He has a background in national health policy and service delivery. He is particularly interested in demonstrating research impact."
"Justyn is the son of the writer and speaker Jennifer Rees Larcombe and grandson of the evangelist Tom Rees. After a highly successful career in the British Army Justyn Rees Larcombe had an equally glittering and well-rewarded career in the City. He had everything. Stunningly successful in the world of insurance, he was being fast tracked for further promotion in a global company. He had wealth, a big house, a Porsche, a Mercedes. He had a beautiful wife and three sons. He lost it all through an addiction to online gambling, blowing three quarters of a million pounds in three years. Realising he could fall no further, he turned back to Christ, turned his back on gambling and, in the space of two years, found incredible recovery and restoration."
"I am a Research Officer on the SAGE - Scoping the Accessibility of Safer Gambling Information in the United Kingdom Armed Forces - study, and a PhD student studying Opioid Use Disorder at Swansea University Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Science. I also work as an IESO affiliate Cognitive Behavioural Therapist."
