@GrahamParsons68 @addictionprofs Definitely! Would love to catch up with you about this 🙂

So much support and interest in same day prescribing, what a privilege to speak to a packed house at the RCGP & AP conference #MAPC24 #MAPConf @addictionprofs

[Sam Cole @drsamcole]

Wonderful to meet you @DameCarolBlack and I totally agree, increasing primary care involvement and shared care will go some way to increase numbers in treatment

[Dame Carol Black @DameCarolBlack]

It was a real pleasure to be among so many enthusiastic primary care professionals committed to addressing substance addiction.

Research into the behaviours of leaders who deliver transformational change. The factor that makes the biggest difference between those who deliver & those who don't is whether leaders embrace the emotional journey of their people. 6 behaviours that improve the odds of transformation success:
1) Leadership’s own willingness to change
2) Shared vision of success
3) Trust & psychological safety
4) Balancing implementation & creativity
5) Recognition that technology carries its own emotional journey
6) Shared sense of ownership over the outcome

[Frank O'Kelly @FrankOKelly1]

I think providing him with a home and treating his alcohol dependency is much more likely to reduce recurrence. Why do we manage addiction through the courts rather than the healthcare system?
