Alcohol Consultancy

Some recent examples of work include the following...

Alcohol Strategy Development in East Lancs.

Consultancy Solutions has just been commissioned to lead the development of a combined Alcohol Crime and Disorder Strategy across the East Lancashire area.

The alcohol strategy will encompass the following 5 Borough Councils;

Burnley
Pendle
Rossendale
Hyndburn
Ribble Valley

The strategy will follow closely the National Alcohol Harm Reduction Strategy for England and is expected to incorporate 4 themes;

Education
Prevention
Treatment
Working with the Alcohol Industry

A key task of the Alcohol Strategy will be to pull together an overarching vision underpinned by clear and consistent action plans which identifies and addresses local needs and priorities.

Much work is ongoing in relation to alcohol work and has progressed without any overall co-ordination. A key aim of our work in developing this strategy will be to encourage an ongoing partnership approach whilst seeking to bring clarity in relation to direction, outcomes, roles and responsibilities consistency in monitoring and performance review.

Alcohol Commissioning Toolkit

We have recently completed work with Chorley and South Ribble Primary Care Trust which resulted in the production of a comprehensive Alcohol Commissioning Toolkit which will shortly be adopted throughout the Public Health Network across Lancashire.

The toolkit was launched at a public health network conference and has been contributed to by commissioners, service providers and service users.

The toolkit consists of comprehensive Integrated Care Pathways, example Service Specifications for across Tiers 2 - 4 and detailed performance monitoring frameworks to accompany these.

The toolkit is intended to support commissioners in reconfiguring and developing local services and taking steps to improve quality and consistency of service provision. It was also written to support service users in understanding local services and how they can be accessed.
