A new certificate in substance misuse

The RCGP Substance Misuse and Associated Health Unit is launching a new certificate:

Harm Reduction, Health and Well Being for Substance Users.

The first face to face event for the certificate will be running in London on 26th May 2011. This certificate is aimed at those practitioners who are encountering substance misuse as part of their day to day work in health or social care. Particularly those not traditionally involved in providing services to this patient group, but it will also act as an important refresher for practitioners involved in shared care or specialist services and/or as an CPD update for Part 1 certificate holders

It is intended that by completing the certificate participants will be better able to apply techniques that will reduce the harm that substance misuse can do and promote the health and wellbeing of substance misusing patients, their families and the community.

Bookings can be made on-line at:
