Alcohol Misuse Training 

Certificate in Alcohol misuse

Our Alcohol Misuse Training equips health care professionals with the skills to develop and deliver an enhanced level of Screening and Brief Interventions (SBI) in general practice.

 

A standardised delivery of SBI to harmful drinkers can save more years of life and provide better value for money than other approaches.

 

It is also easy to deliver but widely under-used in primary care despite strong evidence to support it.

 

The course is delivered by our Wales Clinical Lead as a college-accredited two-part certificate programme and open to GPs, health visitors, midwives, nurses, pharmacists and prison workers.

 

Drawing on best practice and 'what works' for primary care practitioners its contents are linked to the delivery of nationally and locally enhanced services (nGMS) and supports the development of GPs with a Special Interest (GPwSI).

 

It is also linked to the Models of Care for Alcohol Misusers (McCAM) and supported by a governance and professional development framework through regional clinical leads and SMMGP.
