About UKESAD

WHY YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS THIS CONFERENCE...

UKESAD 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 offered the UK’s widest and most prestigious choice of leading national and international experts to professionals in the drug and alcohol treatment field – UKESAD 2008 plans to exceed even this by bringing together more of the world’s leading researchers and practitioners, and adding an extra stream of presentations.

For service commissioners, it will provide careplan insights for client journeys.

For researchers, here is an opportunity to share the latest research findings with clinicians who can benefit from them.

For practitioners, here is an occasion to share good practice and hear from leading figures, as well as meet up with like-minded colleagues. Alongside traditional clinical issues, there will be cutting-edge workshops on family of origin, care coordination, suicide risk – and practical ways to implement neuroscientific discoveries into treatment.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND...

Everyone involved in helping people with alcohol and drug problems to lead healthier, happier lifestyles.
