3. WELCOME TO THE MCA SYMPOSIUM 2016 16 th November 2016, MCA Symposium ‘Alcohol and health harm; what can doctors, nurses and other professionals do?’ at the Royal College of Surgeons #2016SYMMCA The 2016 MCA Symposium, ‘Alcohol and health harm; what can doctors, nurses and other professionals do?’, will take place on 16 th November at the Royal College of Surgeons, London. Alcohol causes harm across a range of dimensions – medical, social, economic. The health effects alone include 60 different medical conditions, from heart disease to brain damage to liver disease and cancer. The impacts on health services include over 1 million hospital admissions related to alcohol in the UK in 2013/14, up to 70% of peak time accident and emergency attendances and over a third of ambulance call outs. The MCA’s vision is to have a health workforce educated to reduce health harm from alcohol. In this symposium, we will focus on the ways in which health professionals from different disciplines, sectors and specialties can act to reduce these harms. We will cover approaches including brief interventions in different settings, primary care and commissioning, inequalities and public health, addiction medicine and accident and emergency. As always we will be presenting the latest research evidence and ways of implementing it in practice. This symposium will be of interest to doctors from all specialties, nurses and other health professionals and is a great opportunity to engage with others in the alcohol-related health harm community. I look forward to meeting and welcoming you to London in November 2016. Dominique Florin, MCA Medical Director
