New report from Alcohol Concern advises A&E departments on treatment of young people
Alcohol Concern published a briefing report on Wednesday 6th
April 2011 that outlines a series of actions A&E departments can
perform to provide harm reduction to young people who attend hospital as
a result of their drinking.
The report outlines simple steps that A&E departments
can take to identify 'at risk' young drinkers in order to provide them
with access to appropriate early interventions at times when they are
more receptive to advice. Evidence shows this will reduce the risk of
future harm; reduce the burden on health services and save money.
