 Alcohol occupies a significant place in Australian culture.

It is consumed for enjoyment, sociability or to escape problems. Many turn to alcohol as a way to relieve stress, which has been increasingly evident during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

GPs remain vital in helping patients reduce their alcohol intake.

As such, this webinar is designed to support GPs to have short, effective conversations about reducing alcohol throughout a person’s lifespan, including abstinence during pregnancy.

We will run through using the AUDIT-C tool to screen patients and identify their level of risk and their potential need for support or intervention. This will be followed by a discussion about the referral pathways and support services in NSW.
