New consortium aims to drive up standards of care

Published: 23 November 2010

A group has been formed to allow doctors, former drug users, charities and health care workers to pool their knowledge to improve drug and alcohol treatment in England.

The Substance Misuse Skills Consortium will allow those working in the field to share best practice and work together. The consortium's website has a "skills hub" section, which offers access to hundreds of resources for frontline workers.
