Conferences & News
We would like to share an important update regarding the leadership of the ARBD Network.
Professor Ken Wilson has stepped down from his role as Chair of the ARBD Network. We extend our sincere thanks to him for his dedication, leadership and commitment over the years. In particular, we recognise his work alongside Kate in establishing and developing the Network into the collaborative and impactful community it is today. Ken will still remain part of our network and will be joining us at our annual conference this year.
We are pleased to announce that Professor Julia Lewis will be taking on the role of Chair. We look forward to her leadership as the Network continues to grow and advance its mission.
Please join us in thanking Professor Wilson for his contributions and welcoming Professor Lewis to her new role.

Recognition, response and pathways forward
Thursday 15 October | 9:30am – 1:00pm
In collaboration with the Addictions Research Group at the University of South Wales, the Alcohol Care Team at Sandwell and West-Birmingham NHS Trust are performing a national ARBD service mapping and care provision exercise. We aim to improve our understanding of the current levels of care provided for those living with ARBD, but also to facilitate relationships between healthcare professionals and raise awareness of ARBD, more generally. To help with this work, please complete the Microsoft forms survey via the following link: https://forms.office.com/e/SDQuSW1A3W or scan the QR code below
This survey will request information about the service you work in and its current status surrounding assessment, diagnosis and management of ARBD.
For more information about the survey or the Addictions Research Group at the University of South Wales please get in contact via https://health.research.southwales.ac.uk/about-us/addictions-research/ or https://twitter.com/USW_Addictions.
