Management Committee

The Council's management committee is directing its energies towards raising awareness, and providing advice and information, to the nursing profession. The theory is that raised awareness of harmful alcohol use will lead to the early identification and the consequential provision of adequate and appropriate intervention at the entrance point to nursing care.

A new initiative has been launched in Wandsworth for alcohol abuse in older people. Details here.
