National Alcohol Harm Reduction Campaign to be launched on May 19th

The Department of Health will be launching a national campaign to "raise awareness of units and the health risks of regularly exceeding Government 'lower risk' drinking levels". The launch on the 19th May will continue the Know Your Limits campaign and will be offering a range of further resources including websites and materials for practitioners. The Department of Health will also be launching an e-learning training module for practitioners on the use of alcohol screening and brief advice.

For further details see the practitioners' briefing on the forthcoming campaign, and resources here.
