As a healthcare provider are you well-placed to assess and manage patients misusing alcohol and other drugs?
Enhance your knowledge to better manage patients within your own practice. Join us to learn more about the tools available and the skills required to undertake effective Alcohol and other Drug assessments, to identify appropriate treatment options and pathways.

Learning outcomes:
