Drug Misuse Training Part 1
Part 1 of our Drug Misuse Training is
aimed at health care professionals with a special interest in
working with substance misusers.
The first part of our two-stage course is
delivered by our Substance Misuse Unit (SMU) and open to GPs,
health visitors, midwives, primary care nurses and pharmacists.
The training is currently free, providing you
are a primary care worker, but certain restrictions do apply so
please contact RCGP Wales to check your eligibility before starting
this course.
The course is mapped to the Drug and Alcohol
National Occupational Standards (DANOS) and endorsed by the
National Treatment Agency for Substance
Misuse
The first stage of the course consists of two
e-learning modules which you can complete online via the Doctors.net.uk
website.
You must register for the Substance Misuse
course on the site and once completed print off a confirmation of
completion of the modules and send to the following address:
Project Administrator Karen Morris
RCGP Wales
Regus House
Falcon Drive
Cardiff Bay
Cardiff
CF10 4RU.
You can then progress to the second stage of
the course where you must attend a one-day face-to-face training
day.
Ideally, you should complete the e-learning
modules prior to this event but they can be completed following
attendance of the training day.
A £50 fully-refundable deposit is required to
secure a place on the training day with the sum refunded on
attendance.
Once stages one and two, as outlined above,
have been completed you will receive your Part 1 Completion
Certificate and be eligible to apply for Part 2 of the course.
