Abstract

This is a pilot research project and aims to explore if training for health and social care students include training on alcohol and drugs, and novel psychoactive substances (NPSs) and if current training provision adequately prepares health and social care students for their future practitioner roles. Ethical approval was granted by Middlesex University London. This pilot study was conducted in the spring/summer of 2013 and highlights concerns regarding the continued lack of substance use training in the curriculum, despite the increased prevalence of substance use in the community and its connection to poor mental health.
