The
shadow London Health Improvement Board (LHIB) alcohol
programme has announced a number of projects and events as part of
its aim to promote alcohol early intervention across the capital.
The LHIB alcohol priority is committed to ensuring that Identification and Brief Advice (IBA) is delivered effectively across a wide range of key settings in London including criminal justice, acute and primary care. It will also be engaging with senior leaders to develop a shared vision and partnership framework, and supporting local licensing and enforcement teams.
As part of the early intervention programme, the LHIB commissioned two key reports to assess the extent of IBA delivery across the capital and challenges and opportunities for moving forward - see summary reports here:
- IBA Interventions across London - Executive Summary.pdf
- Systematic Review of Alcohol Early Intervention in Criminal Justice Sector - Executive Summary.pdf
An IBA Practitioner Network has also been established, aiming to bring together a practitioners from health, social care and criminal justice sectors to promote and lead on IBA delivery. The Network is currently recruiting practitioners from a range of key settings, though is not intended for drug and alcohol roles - see here for more information.
An IBA leadership Summit will also take place in January 2013 with the intention of securing senior level buy-in to embedding IBA delivery across London.
