Alcohol Nurse Specialist with North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust in Carlisle / Whitehaven
Alcohol excess plays a significant role in a wide array of health and social care needs. Consequently this impacts and imposes a burden on the whole health economy. A significant and rising number of patients with alcohol related problems attend our Emergency Departments which, for NCIC, includes 81% presenting via our ambulance services. Many may subsequently be admitted. There is a high re-attendance and readmission rate and we have a higher than average alcohol related mortality. Consequently there is a case for improvement in the provision of alcohol related services and better coordination of care together with our community providers. The North East and North Cumbria ICS support the development of alcohol services and NCIC have made a successful bid for funding to support Alcohol Care Teams. They invite us to join with colleagues within our ICS to pledge support for the development of services to address this pressing need.
