Clinical Lead

RCGP Scotland has received funding from the Scottish Government to deliver a one-year project aimed at reducing gambling harms in Scotland and is looking to appoint a Clinical Lead to conduct this work. Building on the RCGP Gambling Harms accreditation scheme previously delivered across the UK, we are now initiating a Scotland-specific programme of learning for GPs based in Scotland. There is a significant unmet need with respect to engaging people experiencing gambling harms. GPs have a key role in early identification, assessment and treatment of people suffering from gambling harms. The RCGP Scotland Gambling Harms Project will address this need by raising awareness of the issues, helping to improve GP knowledge, supporting this by sharing learning resources and tools, and evaluating our work to understand the impact and develop the evidence base. By doing this we intend to improve outcomes for patients and reduce stigma. We will design and deliver a variety of learning opportunities for GPs and their practices including: live webinars, eLearning modules, and sessions with GP Quality Clusters, with appropriate resources available to support these activities.
