ANNOUNCEMENT SCOTTISH DRUGS FORUM TRAINING EVENTS
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in the light of advice from the Government and others, SDF has cancelled all face-to-face training. This decision will be reviewed in due course.
In the immediate term, we are switching over to a virtual platform and these courses are viewable below and free to access to anyone working or living in Scotland.
Scottish Drugs Forum’s e-learning platform will continue as normal and 11 e-learning courses are available.
SDF are still able to discuss ideas around commissioning bespoke training beyond the core training. If you would like to discuss this contact Adelle Still (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.)
