This year's MCA Symposium is taking place on the 13th of November 2019 at the BMA in London.

The full-day programme will cover the topic of alcohol and health from a number of perspectives, including the relationship between addiction and alcohol, educating medical students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, student mental health, training in addiction medicine and alcohol and the liver.

There will be a dedicated session for nursing colleagues, focusing on competencies, highly relevant given the expansion of Alcohol Care Teams in hospitals. The day will also include clinical and research perspectives and the content will be of relevance to all health professionals working in the alcohol and health field.
