Drug & Alcohol E-Learning & Training
Public Health is working with Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust’s (HPFT) Learning and Development team to develop an online Drug & Alcohol e-learning package. As well as being rolled out to staff across HPFT, this training will be available for free to all providers to access. The e-learning package will include:
- An overview and recognition of drug and alcohol addiction
- Developing confidence to work with people who use drug and alcohol
- Techniques to support individuals through the recovery process
We will share further information once the e-learning is available, we anticipate this to be in Autumn 2025.
In the meantime, CGL in conjunction with Public Health have produced a number of Drug & Alcohol bitesize videos covering the following topics:
