Hi all

I think a joint stand would make sense.  I did try to persuade people of this for the conference in Glasgow, but there were no takers!  Obviously, it would depend how much a stall was going to cost.

Dear Sally,
 
Excellent news. Well done. I will certainly be interested in bringing my students and research colleagues if the price can be kept reasonable. I agree that a poster display or some kind of presentation of education courses in the UK would be a good idea.
 
Best wishes,
Betsy

	Hi Rowdy and others,
	
	I thought you might be interested to know that a bid I was co-ordinating with a colleague to bring the 2010 International Harm Reduction conference back to Liverpool [the first was here in 1990] has been successful.
	
	Its great for both LJMU and the city of Liverpool, but I hope the knock on effects will be felt nationally. The conference will be held 24th - 29th April 2010 and staged at the new conference centre at the Kings Dock on the banks of the river Mersey.
	
	It's the biggest harm reduction conference in the world and attracts around 1500 delegates - I thought perhaps we might be able to do something as a group....perhaps some sort of display covering the range of courses we offer nationally? ideas anyone?
	
	Regards
	
	Sally

	Middlesex University now offers the opportunity to gain either an Advanced Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate in Dual Diagnosis via online distance learning.
	
	Foundations in Working with Dual Diagnosis introduces students to the key issues in Dual Diagnosis while also reviewing and updating knowledge on Mental Health and Substance Misuse.
	
	Assessment and Treatment in Dual Diagnosis will equip students with knowledge concerning the role of engagement, screening and assessment, and deepen their knowledge and understanding of effective evidence based interventions used in treatment.
	
	You can take either course as a stand-alone module or complete both to gain the Advanced Diploma or Postgraduate Certificate.  The fee for each module is £805.  Both modules will commence in October 2008 and are of 24 weeks duration.  Further information can be obtained from our website at
