Abstract
This short feedback report1 presents the findings of a small scale evaluation of the support provided to twenty specially targeted Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) as part of the Department of Health’s ‘Alcohol Improvement Programme.’ The ‘Alcohol Improvement Programme’ aims to reduce the rate of alcohol‐related admissions to hospital and provides a range of support through the ‘Alcohol Learning Centre’ (www.alcohollearningcentre.org.uk).
The study was carried out between July and October 2009 and was commissioned by the Department of Health’s Policy Research Programme as part of the evaluation2 of the ‘Care Services Improvement Partnership’.3 The ‘Care Services Improvement Partnership’ (which has since been abolished) was responsible for the initial development of the ‘Alcohol Leaning Centre.’ Although CSIP was abolished, it was felt that this evaluation should still go forward to provide some practical feedback to the ‘Alcohol Improvement Programme Working Group’ on how the support provided to PCTs could be improved.
