Spotting the druggies

School nurses and health centre receptionists are trained to spot drug addicts who may need help.

People working at GP practices and in the community are given training.

Find out about reception staff in your area getting trained up.

Do they think it will help the wider problem or is it leaving clinical decisions in the hands of the wrong people?

And what do drug abuse support groups think about the training?

Is it a move in the right direction or has the NHS got it wrong?
