 DUAL  DIAGNOSIS – CLINICAL SKILLS  CONFERENCE

Leicester Race Course, Oadby, Leicester LE2 4AL

Monday 8th October 2008

 

 Focus of the Day

*

Living with Dual Diagnosis, mental health and substance use means a complex presentation to services, which, at times do not hold the key skills to address the issues.

 

 

This conference aims to discuss these issues and explore ways of moving services forward for service users.

 

The Department of Health guidelines on Dual Diagnosis were published in 2002 and inpatient guidance in 2006, yet clients are still reporting being rejected for services until they are no longer using substances.

 

This balance needs to be addressed and can be achieved by improving the skills of staff, to be able to manage the complex issues arising from this client group.

 

The day will include National Speakers on:

 

·         Government Perspective

 

·         MARAC issues for substance use and domestic violence

 

·         Clinical Skills in substance Misuse for In-patient Clinicians

 

·         Managing substance use in secure/prison settings

 

·         Clinical Skills for Alcohol

 

·         Patient Efficacy

 

This conference is suitable for health care professionals, consultant psychiatrists, nurses, drug workers, alcohol workers, voluntary and statutory sector, DAAT, commissioners, CIJP, probation, university staff, prison staff and anyone with an interest in dual diagnosis.
