Discover how brief interventions and harm-reduction techniques can transform patient care in this engaging, practical guide. In this video, Dr Bradlow explains the fundamentals of brief interventions, from motivational interviewing to real-life case applications. Learn how tools like the AUDIT-C questionnaire can help assess and address risky behaviours, and how to approach patients with empathy and honesty to inspire meaningful change. We also dive into harm reduction strategies tailored to different substances, including alcohol, cannabis, stimulants, and opioids. From safer injection techniques to preventing psychosis from cannabis, these actionable tips are grounded in evidence and designed to keep patients safe. This is more than just theory-it’s a practical toolkit for anyone working in health, social services, or just wanting to understand how to make a positive impact in the lives of people around them.
