With rapid progress towards the devolution of NHS commissioning to a local level, we need this document to guide local NHS organisations as they strive to deliver a planned and integrated local treatment system for alcohol misuse. Even though we are working hard to improve health and reduce inequalities, we recognise that more progress needs to be made towards addressing the different and complex causes of poor health and health inequalities, including harm caused by alcohol. There is no doubt that alcohol misuse is associated with a wide range of problems, including physical health problems such as cancer and heart disease; offending behaviours, not least domestic violence; suicide and deliberate self-harm; child abuse and child neglect; mental health problems which co-exist with alcohol misuse; and social problems such as homelessness. We know that much of this harm is preventable and that the introduction and development of comprehensive, integrated local alcohol treatment systems can have a beneficial impact on many areas of health and social care. This considerably benefits hazardous, harmful and dependent drinkers, their families and social networks, and the wider community. Screening and brief interventions for harmful and hazardous drinkers, as well as treatment for dependent drinkers, when delivered as part of a planned and integrated local treatment system, can offer economic benefits in other NHS priority areas. Recent studies suggest that alcohol treatment has both short and long-term economic benefits. The Review of the effectiveness of treatment for alcohol problems1 suggests that provision of alcohol treatment to 10 per cent of the dependent drinking population within the UK would reduce public sector resource costs by between £109 million and £156 million each year, and analysis from the United Kingdom Alcohol Treatment Trial suggests that for every £1 spent on alcohol treatment, the public sector saves £5. 5 Models of care for alcohol misusers (MoCAM) I recommend this guidance and I know that it will help commissioners to provide the effective and comprehensive local frameworks that will support our citizens and communities to lead healthier, happier and longer lives. Sir Liam Donaldson Chief Medical Officer 6 Executive summary Models of care for alcohol misusers (MoCAM) provides best practice guidance for local health organisations and their partners in delivering a planned and integrated local treatment system for adult alcohol misusers. It will be relevant to primary care trusts (PCTs) who will play a leading role, in partnership with other local agencies, to commission appropriate alcohol services. MoCAM is explicitly identified as a significant milestone towards achieving the second aim of the Alcohol harm reduction strategy for England2 (2004), ‘to better identify and treat alcohol misuse’, and is a direct commitment in the Choosing Health3 White Paper (2004). Alcohol misuse is associated with a wide range of problems, including physical health problems such as cancer and heart disease; offending behaviours, not least domestic violence; suicide and deliberate self-harm; child abuse and child neglect; mental health problems which co-exist with alcohol misuse; and social problems such as homelessness. The evidence base indicates that much of this harm is preventable. The introduction and development of comprehensive integrated local alcohol treatment systems considerably benefits hazardous, harmful and dependent drinkers, their families and social networks, and the wider community. Recent studies suggest that alcohol treatment has both short and long-term economic benefits. The Review of the effectiveness of treatment for alcohol problems1 suggests that provision of alcohol treatment to 10 per cent of the dependent drinking population within the UK would reduce public sector resource costs by between £109 million and £156 million each year. Furthermore, analysis from the United Kingdom Alcohol Treatment Trial suggests that for every £1 spent on alcohol treatment, the public sector saves £5. MoCAM is informed by the document Models of care for the treatment of adult drug misusers4 (2002), which had drug treatment as its primary focus,

  • Alcohol Use Disorder
    Section: A B C D E Resources References Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) Tool This tool is designed to support primary care providers (family physicians and primary care nurse practitioners) in screening, diagnosing and implementing pharmacotherapy treatments for adult patients (>18 years) with Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD). Primary care providers should routinely offer medication for moderate and severe AUD. Pharmacotherapy alone to treat AUD is better than no therapy at all.1 Pharmacotherapy is most effective when combined with non-pharmacotherapy, including behavioural therapy, community reinforcement, motivational enhancement, counselling and/or support groups. 2,3 TABLE OF CONTENTS pg. 1 Section A: Screening for AUD pg. 7 Section D: Non-Pharmacotherapy Options pg. 4 Section B: Diagnosing AUD pg. 8 Section E: Alcohol Withdrawal pg. 5 Section C: Pharmacotherapy Options pg. 9 Resources SECTION A: Screening for AUD All patients should be screened routinely (e.g. annually or when indicators are observed) with a recommended tool like the AUDIT. 2,3 It is important to screen all patients and not just patients eliciting an index of suspicion for AUD, since most persons with AUD are not recognized. 4 Consider screening for AUD when any of the following indicators are observed: • After a recent motor vehicle accident • High blood pressure • Liver disease • Frequent work avoidance (off work slips) • Cardiac arrhythmia • Chronic pain • Rosacea • Insomnia • Social problems • Rhinophyma • Exacerbation of sleep apnea • Legal problems Special Patient Populations A few studies have reviewed AUD in specific patient populations, including youth, older adults and pregnant or breastfeeding patients. The AUDIT screening tool considered these populations in determining the sensitivity of the tool.

  • 1 5 Nations Meeting PHE, Waterloo House, Waterloo Road, London
    5 Nations Meeting PHE, Waterloo House, Waterloo Road, London 17th July 2018 Minutes and Matters Arising Minutes of the meeting on 16th March in Belfast were agreed. Matters Arising: Project ECHO was noted as a useful tool for driving QI. The 5 Nations is supporting it. Impact of the built environment. Architects were to be invited to the next (this) meeting, this will be carried forward. The theme of the meeting was Research. Eamonn O Moore introduced the topic and explained that the outcome of the meeting was to be a 5 Nations statement on priorities for prison health research. Advice from PHE researchers was to focus on specific research needs/questions. Emma Plugge opened the discussion. She began by giving an update on the recent conference in Prague that had had a WEPHREN panel on ‘What Makes Good Research?’ One aspect was that user involvement is important, not least because of the power relationship. Emma described the disparities in prison research outputs across the globe in both quantity and quality with least output from LIMCs. Researchers get judged on amount of funding brought in, robustness of methods and number of outputs. Not really judged on impact. National Overviews on Prison Research Each nation then gave a brief overview on prison research in their jurisdiction. Wales (Stephanie Perrett) Research priorities have been agreed: medicine management; substance use; mental health; environmental impact. Stephanie suggested research outputs should identify economic outputs and effective service design. Scotland (Lesley Graham) 1 See attached briefing paper. Ireland (Deidre O’Reilly) Research is very undeveloped with not even a basic needs assessment having been undertaken.

  • Waterloo Road/Rock Road, Ketley - Traffic Calming Scheme
    Waterloo Road/Rock Road, Ketley - Traffic Calming Scheme Briefing Note Ref: NM20_CP08 September 2020 1.0 Background Concerns have been raised by residents with regard to the speed of vehicles travelling along Waterloo Road, in particular through the series of bends, also known as Ketley Town. This document sets out the review that has been undertaken and identifies the proposed measures to mitigate these concerns. The proposed measures would also support the current traffic calming features (speed cushions) that are already in place along the route to encourage speed limit compliance and also improve the area for those residents who live in close proximity. Concerns have also be made regarding the number of motorised vehicles using the public footpath which links Spring Terrace/Waterloo Road to Lavender Close, Lawley. This document also sets out plans on how we can mitigate these concerns and make the footpath safer for pedestrians and reduce noise levels for local residents. In addition to the proposals and as part of a maintenance scheme for the area, the current speed cushions along Rock Road will also be upgraded with rubber bolt down cushions. It is worth noting that Rock Road has recently been subject to School Safety Zone improvements which included the introduction of an advisory 20mph zone to address safety concerns raised by the school and residents; the options proposed in this report will help support this scheme. The review area being considered as part of this report is shown in Figure 1.1. Figure 1.1 – Review Area 2.0 Traffic Data Three automated traffic counts (ATC’s) was installed on 7th March – 13th 2020 along Waterloo Road, Ketley to collect vehicle traffic data.

    REPORT FOR DECISION Agenda item no: Rochdale Township Committee November 2011 Report of Customers and Communities Demolition of Hill Top School and Rochdale Borough Training Unit Wards affected: Balderstone & Kirkholt Report Author: Vivienne Hall Telephone: (01706) 924119 1. It is recommended that: 1.1 Approval be given for the demolition of former Hill Top School and the former Rochdale Borough Training Unit – both situated on Hill Top Drive, Kirkholt. 2. Reasons for recommendation: 2.1 The current lease to SHED Productions, for the use of both buildings as filming locations for the Waterloo Road TV series, expires on 31 st January 2012. SHED Productions have informed the Council that they are re-locating the filming of this programme to Scotland and they will not be seeking renewal of their lease when it expires. 2.2 The Hill Top school site is a key re-development area within the approved regeneration plan for the Kirkholt neighbourhood (the “Ideas for Change” masterplan). 2.3 Leasing of the site to SHED Productions was always a temporary use for the site, (and had the great advantage of keeping the site safe and secured), until the re- development phase for the Hill Top area of Kirkholt was reached. 2.4 More detailed masterplanning of key intervention areas during 2010/11 demonstrated that the Hill Top site is now attracting interest from housing developers and is a priority for the next stage of the clearance programme. 2.5 The size of the two buildings, and the amount of open land surrounding them, makes this an exceptionally difficult and costly site to secure.
