Substance use and misuse
Course description:
We rely on a small team and user feedback to keep Pharmacy Courses running. Notice something looks odd? Let us know!The aim of this e-course is to support pharmacy professionals to provide a person-centred approach to care for people who use and misuse substances.
To facilitate your learning, we have structured the course into four units. Some units are larger than others, but we estimate that you will need to commit an average of three hours of learning for each unit.
- Unit 1 – Individual experience of substance use and misuse
- Unit 2 – Risks and challenges of substance use and misuse and associated harm reduction services
- Unit 3 – Recovery and treatment
- Unit 4 – Delivering holistic and seamless care
On completion of all aspects of this learning programme you should be able to:
- explain why people misuse substances and the impact it has on their lives and the lives of those around them
- identify the risks associated with substance use and misuse
