About the Skills Consortium
The Substance Misuse Skills Consortium is an independent, sector-led initiative to harness the ideas, energy and talent within the substance misuse treatment field, to maximise the ability of the workforce, and to help more drug and alcohol misusers recover.
The Consortium will help the substance misuse treatment sector to:
- Identify what the treatment workforce needs to promote and sustain better outcomes for service users, their families and communities
- Review and develop initiatives to attract and retain the workforce
- Equip practitioners and managers with the relevant skills
Consortium members include treatment providers, service users and carers, and professional and membership organisations for those working in substance misuse treatment. If you would like to join the Consortium, you can find out more here.
