Great expectations: the role of nurses in dealing with alcohol related problems.

Holloway, Aisha; Webster-Henderson, Brian

Abstract

Alcohol-related harm impacts significantly on the health of the population and nurses are often among the first health professionals encountered by many patients with alcohol-related problems. Potentially, nurses could play a key role in the national response to alcohol harm but many believe themselves to be ill-prepared and ill-equipped to respond.

Here, Aisha Holloway, Lecturer in Nursing Studies and Brian Webster, Assistant Dean, Faculty of Health, both from Edinburgh University, consider the issues.
