This leaflet clearly explains that drinking too much alcohol on a regular basis will increase the risk of long-term damage to health.
The IBA pack provides key information and resources required for practitioners to appropriately identify and respond to alcohol misuse. The pack contains:
an alcohol screening tool
a brief advice tool
an information leaflet
alcohol unit z-card
an information booklet which describes Alcohol Treatment and Intervention options in Lambeth
In this leaflet you can find out about what the research tells us about the link between alcohol and cancer, how to limit your cancer risk from alcohol and how many units of alcohol are in common drinks.
We have a Free Generic Expert Patients Programme (EPP) and a Free Living with Diabetes (LWD) course for Type 2, both only take 15 hours of someone’s time, both are group based with clients being peer supported.
The EPP course is delivered by volunteer tutors who themselves have LTC’s therefore understanding the clients difficult emotions and how they can deal with day to day management of their conditions. This course takes 6 weeks, 2 and a half hours per week. THIS IS FOR LAMBETH RESIDENTS
The LWD course is delivered by a Health Care Professional (HCP) and a volunteer Facilitator who lives with Type 2 Diabetes. This course takes 5 weeks, 3 hours per week and includes diabetes specific information. THIS IS FOR SOUTHWARK & LAMBETH RESIDENTS
