Alcohol Improvement Programme Heart of Birmingham PCT, NHS South Birmingham, Birmingham DAAT Max Vaughan Alcohol Commissioning Manager Birmingham DAAT
METHODS The approach incorporated the following components: • Review of the available literature • Analysis of management information • Interviews with stakeholders • Physical and environmental assessment of alternative venues
Available Evidence • Quality of data • Do interventions in A&E, impact on NI39 ? • Women increase • Poly drug use increase • Related Blood Borne diseases increase • WMPHO – HES data
Alcohol-specific admissions for HOBPCT and SBPCT rate per 100,000 population, 2007/2008
Alcohol-related admissions for HOBPCT and SBPCT rate per 100,000 population, 2007/2008
The number of admissions by individuals by Birmingham residents, 2007/2008
Frequent Fliers • Admissions increase = acute issues increase • Operational tracking data better than systems data • Staff ‘fatigue’ • Case management techniques needed • Older age group • Mental Health issues • Homelessness
Options for Alcohol Improvement Programme Investment ! • Brief interventions • External diversion • Internal diversion
Option 1BRIEF INTERVENTIONS “a treatment strategy in which a short, structured therapy is offered (between 5 minutes and 2 hours) and typically on a single occasion. Aimed at helping a person stop or reduce their substance misuse” (Cochrane Drug and Alcohol Group, http://www.cdag.cochrane.org/en/glossary.htm
Barriers to Brief Interventions • Alcohol misuse can be perceived as having a lower significance in comparison to illicit substance misuse. • A lack of willingness or awareness from clinical staff Poor liaison between the acute sector and services in the community • Cultural issues of operating in a hospital environment relating to a lack of support from clinicians • Practical issues relating to delivering BI including ensuing adequate time to access patients in a positive environment
Alcohol Liaison Nurse • Screening at A&E and on key wards • Links to community based provision • Clinical services
Option 2 External diversion Key service delivery issues for diverting alcohol-related patients to a non-acute clinic
Option 3 - Treatment pathway for an Alcohol Medical Assessment Unit Model
OPTION APPRAISAL • Appropriateness • Feasibility • Desirability • Sustainability
The Task ! • Complete the tables in groups

The Scores! • Alcohol Liaison Nurses 127 • External diversion 73 • Internal diversion 103
Estimate of the impact of one ALN over three years at one site (based on City Hospital)
The Proposed Approach The study suggests that there are financial gains to the NHS by employing two ALNs in a single hospital. The Proposed Model • 1. two ALNs within each acute setting. • 2. enhanced brief interventions through their “treatment journey” • 3. track patients from the MAU • 4. following-up patients at discharge • 5. (a) screening and brief interventions and (b) clinical management • 6. Times ALNs are employed need to be defined • 7. Work force Planning • 8. Clinical governance • 9. Data capture and evaluation – assess the effectiveness • 10. “tracking” patients
