Alcohol teaching sessions: CIWA and the alcohol care team

April 8, 2021

Our alcohol care team have developed teaching sessions, be sure to watch this clip featuring Roxanne Mahroof, Alcohol Nurse talking about the clinical institute withdrawal assessment (CIWA) which is the tool used to assess the level of alcohol dependency.

Do you have any patients who would benefit from virtual Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) support? AA provides invaluable support for people who are currently struggling with their drinking, or are recently abstaining from alcohol, so it is very exciting that we now have the opportunity to introduce AA to people before they are discharged. If you know of someone who may benefit from this, please contact the alcohol care team on ext. 5074.
