Clinics and Services
Alcohol Consumption Screening
It is a government priority to address the issue of
illness associated with increasing alcohol consumption and
reducing alcohol related hospital admissions is now a
measure of performance for the NHS.
Woodlands Surgery is contracted to screen all newly
registered patients aged 16 and over regarding their alcohol
consumption. One of the ways in which to do this is to
request that new patients fill in a questionnaire which is
based on a World Health Organisation (WHO) version.
Those patients whose alcohol intake is deemed to be at a
hazardous, harmful or dependent level will receive
intervention to help reduce the amount of alcohol they
consume. Again this intervention is based on advice from WHO
and provided by our practice.
