Purpose:
The purpose of this one day Masterclass is to provide an advanced knowledge of addiction treatment for clinicians and other professionals. The Masterclass will be suitable for psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, GPs and other professionals who already have a working knowledge of addictive processes and interventions. The Masterclass is not intended as an introduction to, or a systematic review of, the addiction treatment field. It will instead focus in more depth on key areas of importance where there is current controversy, important new evidence, or clinical problems for which there is currently a lack of clear evidence to guide practice. The Masterclass will be relevant to Continuing Professional Development. A certificate of attendance will be provided after the event.
