"Now back at work full time"

About: Addiction services (community) / Oxford Corner, Specialist Alcohol Team Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust - Queen's Medical Centre Campus

(as the patient),

My alcohol use was precipitated by a break down of my marriage.

I stopped drinking abruptly and had a seizure. Treated in QMC but had no follow up. Saw GP who referred me to Oxford Corner.

After some time I underwent a Detox at Oxford Corner and went on Antabuse for a few months. I am now back at work full time and abstinent without Antabuse.

Follow up care and group work at Oxford Corner helped immensely.

Our Hospital Alcohol & Drug Liaison Team at QMC continue to develop their roles within the hospital.

They offer training to staff there and work very closely with Oxford Corner to offer follow-up care for patients.

Thank you for your feedback we appreciate you taking the time to tell us about your experience
