Consultation description

This consultation asks you to review individual chapters from the draft UK clinical guidelines for alcohol treatment.

Each chapter of the guidelines covers a different area, topic or setting that is important to supporting and treating people with alcohol problems. Each chapter summarises the main points on the topic, outlines good practice and guidance, and tells you how you can implement the guidance in your service.

The draft UK clinical guidelines for alcohol treatment is made up of 27 chapters split between 2 documents. Chapters 1 to 12 cover the core elements of alcohol treatment, and chapters 13 to 27 cover alcohol treatment in specific settings and populations. You can find a list of all 27 chapters in the consultation document.

The online survey asks you to comment on each individual draft chapter separately, focusing on whether you agree that each chapter:

  • does not have important information missing
  • has guidance that is clear
  • has guidance that is possible to implement

This page also includes annexes to the draft UK clinical guidelines for alcohol treatment and a glossary.

We encourage organisational responses. This will help us to understand the consensus views of organisations and process the information more easily. However, people can also respond as individuals if they want to.
