LxAddictions24: Alcohol: risks, clinical considerations, treatments and outcomes

In this episode Dr Zoe Swithenbank talks to Dr Jørgen Bramness from the European Federation of Addiction Societies (EUFAS) about his work as a co-producer for Lisbon Addictions. Zoe and Jørgen discuss this track, how it was put together and why you should follow this track at Lisbon Addictions this year.

This track will cover a wide range of issues relating to alcohol, and will include sessions on neurobiology, genetics, treatment, digital interventions, AI, treatment, issues of alcohol in the workplace and much more.

They also talk about the process of putting together sessions for Lisbon Addictions. Finally, Jørgen offers his advice and experiences for people attending Lisbon Addictions for the first time.

“Try to talk to some of the presenters after they have presented. That may be just as rewarding and educational as listening to what they have to say because you might have specific questions. For most of the sessions I know the speakers are very happy if people come up to them afterwards and ask them about things.”

Zoe Swithenbank is a researcher at Liverpool John Moores University

Dr Jørgen Bramness is the president elect for EUFAS. He is a professor of psychiatry at UiT – The Arctic University of Norway in Tromsø, a senior researcher at Oslo University Hospital, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, and the Norwegian National Competence Center for Concurrent Substance Abuse and Mental Health Disorders.
