Lancashire Substance Misuse Conference - Preston - 17 May 2010

Lancashire Drug and Alcohol Action Team joined forces with the UK Drug Workers Forum to enable workers in the Lancashire area to benefit from a dedicated regional event to update and inform workers on recent initiatives based around recovery.  The event took place at the Tickled Trout Hotel, Preston with an attendance of around 100 workers from the region.  The event was hailed a great success and we would like to thank all contributors for their input.
