The national Substance Misuse Skills Consortium is now inviting applications for free membership from organisations and bodies that support its aims to promote a highly skilled and ambitious workforce, which will deliver the treatment that helps more drug users overcome addiction and achieve sustained recovery and reintegration. 

The skills consortium harnesses the ideas, energy and talents of the field to improve drug treatment. It offers an opportunity to explore how effective care planning can be achieved for all individuals in drug treatment and to review the skills required to deliver the full range of recommended interventions, some of which are not yet fully embedded in current practise. Further information including how to join the skills consortium is available here.
