Overview
The Certificate in the
Management of Drug Misuse Part 1 is ideal for GPs working at a
generalist level, as part of a shared care scheme, especially those
intending to provide treatment to drug users as part of a locally
or nationally enhanced service (L/NES). It is mapped to the Drug
and Alcohol National Occupational Standards (DANOS) and is endorsed
by the National Treatment Agency for Substance Misuse.
The Part 1 course is now
multi-disciplinary, so pharmacists, nurses, drug workers and other
healthcare professionals can complete the certificate.
All practitioners
wishing to begin the Certificate in the Management of Drug Misuse
Part 2 need to first complete the Part 1 Certificate, or
equivalent.
If any prospective
candidates would like other courses to be considered by RCGP
Scotland as being equivalent to that of the Part 1 Certificate,
please submit details of the course, its learning outcomes and a
letter of support from the course organiser with your application
for the Part 2 Certificate.
