Royal College of General Practitioners (Scotland) and Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP) resources for members of the practice team to support people with alcohol problems
These resources are designed to increase understanding of alcohol harms and to facilitate conversations about reducing alcohol consumption while promoting approaches that reduce stigma.
This work was led by Dr Rachel Phillips, in close collaboration with the Deputy Chair (Policy) of RCGP Scotland, the Head of RCGP Scotland, and the Director and Chair of Scottish Health Action on Alcohol Problems (SHAAP).
