Tackling drug dependence and improving delivery of services - assessing the independent review of drugs and the UK Government’s StrategyTackling drug dependence and improving delivery of services - assessing the independent review of drugs and the UK Government’s Strategy 
Morning, Wednesday, 9th February 2022 This conference will examine policy priorities for tackling drug dependence and is a timely opportunity to discuss the long-term strategy that the UK Government unveiled in early December. Delegates will consider these issues in the context of the Independent Review of Drugs and the published response from the Government, looking at the Review’s recommendations and the Government’s new strategy and what is needed to take them forward. Discussion is also expected to look at priorities for the government following the strategy’s publication and how best to improve society’s response to drug dependence, ensure access to quality prevention, treatment, and recovery support, and enable the swift recovery of services in the context of the pandemic. We are pleased to be able to include keynote sessions with Professor Dame Carol Black, Review lead, Independent Review of Drugs; Dr Keith Humphreys, Professor of Psychiatry, Stanford University; Advisor to the Independent Review of Drugs; and former drug policy advisor to President Barack Obama; and Rosanna O’Connor, Director, Addictions & Inclusion, Office of Health Improvement & Disparities, Department of Health and Social Care. |

Media & Impact - How to communicate your research effectivelyMedia & Impact - How to communicate your research effectively 
Wed, 16 February 2022 This event will focus on how to become a more effective science communicator for addiction research. Communicating research to a wide audience helps disseminate the evidence-base ensuring that treatments for addiction are based on research. Effective forms of science communication can influence policy, and can reduce stigma for people who use drugs. Disseminating your findings outside of academia is increasingly required by funders. It looks good on your CV too. |
