DHI launches GP newsletter to reduce stigma on problematic drug and alcohol use

DHI has launched a new quarterly newsletter for GPs, pharmacists and primary care teams across South Gloucestershire.

The newsletter is designed to support everyday practice by reducing stigma around drug and alcohol use, increasing confidence in having conversations with patients, and making it easier to understand local treatment options and referral routes.

It shares practical guidance, clinical insight and updates on local services, helping people get the right support earlier and reducing the risk of problems escalating.

This work supports prevention and early intervention, and helps ensure primary care teams are well equipped to respond to drug and alcohol issues in their communities.

If you would like to receive the newsletter or find out more, please contact info@dhi-services.org.uk
