Alcohol Identification & Brief Advice Training
If you are a community pharmacy that has signed up to deliver the Alcohol Identification & Brief Advice Service commencing 1st July, as part of your contract you must attend the Free Alcohol Identification & Brief Advice training. You cannot deliver this service until you have received the training, delivered by Drugtrain in various locations throughout North Yorkshire. Brief Advice involves offering simple advice and only takes a few minutes to complete. Brief Advice can be given in a variety of settings by non-alcohol specialist services, such as Community Pharmacies.
