The Managing alcohol withdrawal with the CIWA-Ar training package is a 7 module interactive training package suitable for doctors, nurses, students and other clinicians who work with those with alcohol problems.
The training package includes:
- what is alcohol dependence; early detection of people at risk; taking an alcohol history;
- conducting a brief intervention using the AUDIT
- using the CIWA-Ar alcohol withdrawal assessment
- alcohol withdrawal treatment and management.
Learning can be self directed or trainer led and can be run using in built assessments. Designed to fit in with the busy schedule of clinicians the program is modular, with each unit taking 7-15 minutes to complete. The trainer can select training modules to suit the audience (medical, nursing, multi-disciplinary) and the time available for training.
The training is supplemented by
- Three video vignettes of clinical case studies
- Sample training programs
- Electronic copies of relevant guidelines, tools and references to support the training
- Evaluation tools
