Our joint conference with the RCGP is now open for bookings! This will be an in-person conference taking place at The Lowry Hotel, Manchester. However, we will also be streaming the main room sessions live for those who are unable to attend in person. All sessions will also be recorded and uploaded for all registrants to view for 6 months post-event, this will include most workshop sessions.
Book your placeJoin us in-person, or virtually, as we explore measures to manage addiction in primary care, including drug and alcohol problems, e-cigarettes, homelessness, trauma and resilience-informed practice, and behavioural addictions like sex and pornography.
With alcohol and drug related deaths still at an all-time high, a harm reduction approach is paramount along with tackling stigma (so people don’t shy away from help).
This is the largest event in the UK for GPs, shared care workers, nurses and other primary care staff, specialists, commissioners and researchers interested in and involved with the management of people with drug and alcohol problems in primary care.
