Registration process

Before you can book a place on an ‘open’ session or book a ‘closed’ session you need to complete the registration form opposite.

The course

Our 'Think Drink' course is in two parts:

1. An on-line pre-learning programme (60 mins). This gives the theory behind IBA and describes the effects of drinking at a higher than recommended level.

2. A practical skills workshop (90 to 120 mins). This will equip you with the practical skills and confidence to identify the early signs of harmful drinking and to raise the issue of alcohol with the patient. You will be able to accurately assess their risk and learn how to say the right things that will help the patient.

Non NHS staff
