Dear All,
Does anyone have any examples of where the Substance Misuse questions
have been integrated within the CAF Common Assessment Framework. I am
currently trying to ensure that the CAF in our borough has a trigger
question which will ensure that the professionals using the CAF carry
out a more thorough substance misuse screening. Any help or suggestions
regarding the integration of CAF and substance misuse screening tool
would be greatly received
Many thanks in advance

Subject: New web-based distance learning courses from Middlesex
University
Hello
Middlesex University's School of Health and Social Sciences is a leading
centre for research and professional development in the fields of dual
diagnosis and cultural competence. Our commitment to supporting a
variety of approaches to learning has prompted us to develop two new
web-based distance learning courses.
Foundations in Working with Dual Diagnosis (Substance Misuse and Mental
Health) is now being offered as a web-based distance learning e-module
in response to popular demand. It draws upon the School's MSc in Dual
Diagnosis which was developed in partnership with the highly respected
Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health and was the first course of its kind
in the UK; it has been running since 2001 and has set the standard for
others to follow. Students who successfully complete the e-module will
receive a University transcript awarding them 30 credits at level 3
which they will be able to utilise the towards another Middlesex
University award.
Promoting Cultural Competence in Health and Social Care Practice has
been developed by Professor Irena Papadopoulos, an eminent figure and
leading researcher in the fields of transcultural health and nursing,
and cultural competence studies. This new web-based distance learning
e-module builds on the experience gained in developing and supporting
MSc-level web-based courses. Successful students will be able to
utilise credits gained by successful completion of this course to
progress towards advanced studies/awards.
If any of the above is of interest to you or your colleagues please
