6th November 2013 9.45 am – 4.30 pm

It has been a long time coming, but now it is here. As the National Treatment Agency rides off into the sunset, over the hill comes Public Health England and with it a whole new landscape in which drug and alcohol services need to operate. So we have speakers that reflect the new dynamic as well as those reporting on developments in drug use which may well impact on services.
Plenary and workshop topics include:
- The changing scene from the perspective of local authorities, police and crime commissioners and public health
- The challenge to services of alcohol and new drugs
- Commissioning
- Payment by Results
- Update on new drugs/legal highs
