In December 2005, NHS Quality Improvement Scotland (NHS QIS) established the Scottish Emergency Department Alcohol Audit (SEDAA) steering group to provide expert advice and formulate an appropriate contribution to the growing evidence base on alcohol problems in Scotland.
The aim of the SEDAA steering group was two-fold: to describe the burden of disease and provide descriptive epidemiology on alcohol-related presentations to emergency departments in Scotland. To facilitate this, the group commissioned the Scottish Trauma Audit Group (STAG) to undertake a series of five time-limited audits:
- the size of the problem
- alcohol-related assaults
- alcohol-related self-harm
- the use of intravenous B vitamins, and
- alcohol and young people.
The purpose of this event is to highlight the publication of the sixth and final report in the SEDAA work programme. The report summarises the findings of the audit work and makes priority recommendations for further action. The event will also provide an opportunity to receive an update from the Scottish Government on allocated funding for alcohol services in Scotland and, more generally, initiatives to reduce the cost and burden of alcohol misuse.
