This training package was initially developed as part of the RACGP’s Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) GP Education Program delivered during 2019-2022.
More recently these modules have been redeveloped to allow you to complete them individually at your own pace, according to your knowledge and experience.
Each module promotes an evidence-based, whole-of- person care and therapeutic approach that is safe for you and the patient. This approach is key to reducing barriers to health care experienced by people who use alcohol and other drugs.
The module options follow the structure of the 5’As framework to support behaviour change (Ask, Assess, Advice, Assist, and Arrange).
Together, the modules aim to strengthen your knowledge and core consult skills so you can confidently engage and support those at higher risk of harm associated from their alcohol and other drug use. |
