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.
