The focus in this webinar is the links between alcohol and cancer and the forthcoming Europe Beating Cancer Plan.

In this brochure, the EMCDDA's Scientific Director takes us on a journey through 25 years of annual reporting on the drugs problem in Europe.

The journey begins with the first report describing the drug situation in 1995 and leads us, over key milestones, to the latest European Drug Report 2020.

In March 2012 the Health and Social Care Act (HSCA) was approved, resulting in the commissioning responsibility of specialist drug and alcohol service transferring from the National Health Service (NHS) to local authorities in England.

The aim of the review was to inform the government’s thinking on what more can be done to tackle the harm that drugs cause.

The report is linked with an information pack that lays out the evidence relating to drug use, supply and effects, including current trends and future risks.

A phase two...
