This joint RCGP and Addiction Professionals Managing Drug & Alcohol Problems in Primary Care Conference will include workshops, interaction, networking and learning from each other. While we are happy we can offer the hybrid option of live streaming.

This conference is the largest event in the UK for GPs, shared care workers, nurses and other primary care staff, specialists, commissioners and researchers interested in and involved with the management of people with drug and alcohol problems in primary care. As usual we will be covering the important issues for the field including measures to reduce drug and alcohol related deaths, what the latest research tells us, and lots more. 

Learning objectives: 

• Increase understanding of current interventions for the prevention, assessment and treatment of alcohol and other drug problems
• Increase understanding of what interventions are possible to deliver in primary care and what require specialist help
• Increase knowledge of drug and alcohol policies in the UK and how they are implemented in primary care
• Increase knowledge of links between multiple needs, health inequalities and drug and alcohol use
