About the CPD course
Over half of all dependent drinkers are likely to experience alcohol-related cognitive impairment. They may seem difficult to engage due to their difficulties with remembering; concentrating; reasoning; processing information; planning ahead and a sense of direction. Therefore; anyone working with dependent drinkers needs to be aware of the impact of cognitive impairment. This work is the result of a partnership between Alcohol Change UK; 25 local authorities; alcohol treatment and other services; national experts and people with lived experience; and the aim of this course is to improve the identification of; and response to; cognitive impairment in drinkers.
Alcohol Change UK is the expert in consultancy and training around alcohol harm. We help organisations and practitioners across the UK to improve their policies and practices in supporting people with alcohol problems.
