Empowering the workforce

This track is co-produced by the Wave project.

This track focuses on capacity-building and workforce development.

• Skills for the addiction workforce: addressing training and professional development needs. 
• Nurturing the addiction workforce: workplace well-being, self-care strategies, reducing burnout and creating healthy and sustainable work environments.
• Widening the focus: recognising and supporting the role played by the extended workforce: peer-workers; volunteers; patient advocacy, community champions; and working with other healthcare, criminal justice and social support services.
• Delivering addiction services in the digital era: exploring the potential of innovation and the use of new technologies and what this means for research, training and service provision.
