Drug and Alcohol Core Competencies
Project (DACC)
This project, running from February 2011 into
early 2012, aims to develop a consensus across all medical
specialities on the core competencies that all doctors need to
adequately identify and manage patients who use drugs or alcohol.
This is intended to build on
previous work on drug and alcohol competencies in the
undergraduate curriculum, by embedding core competencies in the
curricula of all the Medical Colleges.
Roles and
Competencies
In 2005, the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal
College of General Practitioners published
guidance on the roles and responsibilities of doctors treating
substance misusers. A working group drawn from both Colleges is
currently updating this work in the light of recent
developments. A revised report will be published in the
first part of 2012.
