S Gill http://www.firstcontactclinical.co.uk Our Alcohol IBA course is free to all NHS staff across Gateshead, South Tyneside and Sunderland.

Identification and Brief Advice (IBA) is effective in helping people who drink in a harmful way to reduce their alcohol consumption and our IBA course will enable you to:


  • Develop a "prompt" tool to help you "Think Drink" for common presentations

  • Raise the issue of alcohol related harm using a simple and non-confrontational "opening"

  • Calculate "Units" confidently

  • Assess a clients readiness to change and modify your response accordingly

  • Deliver advice in a short, personalised and structured way

The training can be delivered as an "open" group session, where participants may come from one or more of these services, or as a "closed" session, which will be restricted to members of your team. Our course is in two parts:

1. An on-line pre-learning programme (max of 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.

British Heart Foundation

The Public Health Improvement Information Team will be sending out awareness packs with some general heart health awareness material in the coming weeks to those who sign up to the campaign (by returning your Health Campaign Form - these are currently being mailed out to everyone on our mailing list). You will probably find it useful however, to order your Red for Heart packs direct from the British Heart Foundation to supplement this information, and begin your preparations for raising awareness of the importance of heart health.
