Leaders and managers have a significant role to play in reducing substance misuse in the UK. Their unique organisational positions means that they can spot the earliest signs of drug or alcohol misuse in others. Managers must have structures in place to minimise the damage to a person's health and social relationships, their team and the whole organisation. 

Developed by Samantha Kendall, qualified emergency medical technician, this Essential CPD course will provide you with the knowledge and skills to raise your awareness and develop strategies and guidance to support staff, colleagues or young people who have substance misuse problems.
