The Alcohol Learning Centre aims to provide online support and resources to commissioners, service managers and practitioners with a responsibility for, or an interest, in the prevention and treatment of alcohol misuse or alcohol-related ill health. It has been established by the Department of Health with the support of Alcohol Concern, NWPHO, SIPS to support the commissioning and delivery of effective front-line services to identify and provide advice and support to NHS patients whose alcohol consumption is, or may, in the future put them at risk.
We aim to share resources and learning rather than recommend best practice and recognise that different solutions and strategies will be employed at a local level.
