The Alcohol Identification and Brief Advice e-learning project (Alcohol IBA) helps professionals with identifying those individuals whose drinking might be impacting on their health and delivering simple, structured advice. It has been developed in partnership with the Department of Health's Alcohol Policy Team and e-Learning for Healthcare .
This e-learning course has been developed by NHS Portsmouth and e-Learning for Healthcare to provide the learning for hospital staff to identify and provide brief advice to those whose alcohol use may be impacting on their health. The course was conceived and designed by Iain Armstrong and builds on the successful courses for IBA in Primary Care and Community Pharmacy developed by the Department of Health. IBA e-learning in hospital settings is currently available on the Alcohol Learning Centre and will soon be available through National Learning Management System (NLMS) which is linked to the NHS Electronic Staff Record (ESR).
Alcohol IBA has been designed to provide the skills and understanding to deliver IBA in line with the National Occupational Standard AH10 - 'employ techniques to help individuals adopt sensible drinking behaviour'. > > > > Read More
