Alcohol & Drugs Partnership
Dumfries & Galloway ADP is a body made up of representatives from a wide range of partners across the region. This includes input from Health, Social Work, Housing, Police, Procurator Fiscal Service and the Voluntary sector. The ADP is responsible for planning and joining up the various initiatives across the region to tackle alcohol and drugs misuse, and to try and prevent it becoming a problem for people. Examples of ongoing work include specialist services, community initiatives, raising awareness of local issues, prevention education programmes in schools, to treatment options and supporting families and those with substance problems towards recovery, healthy lifestyles and employment.

New ABI Training Plan
As part of the continuation to deliver Alcohol Brief Interventions (ABI) training to our key partners we have developed an online training module using the NHS and Councils LearnPro Software. This means that early in 2012, staff will be able to complete the ABI training online in the comfort of their work place without having to take a full day out from work. It is hoped that by offering this course online staff who have previously been unable to attend ABI training will be able to complete this online module in stages that can be easily worked around case loads and shift patterns.
Staff will receive certificates for completion of the full course and will be offered support and coaching for practical exercises and improving practice.
ABI training is also applicable for NHS Staff PDP reviews. For more details on KSF competencies please contact lhyland@nhs.net
Face to face courses will still be delivered to NHS HEAT4 Staff and Non HEAT partners. This will be based upon team requests and delivery designed to suit each request. For more information please email lhyland@nsh.net or call Lorrain on 01387 272713

ADP Strategy
This document outlines the main aims and objectives of the Stategic Plan for the members of the Alcohol and Drugs Partnership from 2011 to 2014.
The vision of the Dumfries and Galloway Alcohol and Drugs Partnership is of a region where people are healthier, happier and safer. Recognising the harm that alcohol and drug misuse can cause. The two themes of prevention and recovery run throughout the Strategy. They underpin short term outcomes which will improve the lives of those affected by substance misuse, and the longer term vision of communities where alcohol and drug misuse are reduced for the benefit of all.

Recognised Partners List
In developing a Recognised Partners List (RPL) the ADP wishes to bring together the diverse range of partners into single framework based on the National Quality Standards for Substance Misuse Services (NQS). This framework will be flexible enough to acknowledge that professional accountabilities may lie elsewhere, but defined enough to reassure those using services that they operate to agreed minimum standards.
Further information is contained in the information leaflet. RPL Leaflet
