RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Junior doctors’ understanding of alcohol units remains poor JF Clinical Medicine JO Clin Med FD Royal College of Physicians SP 141 OP 144 DO 10.7861/clinmedicine.14-2-141 VO 14 IS 2 A1 Abhay K Das A1 Oliver J Corrado A1 Zuzanna Sawicka A1 Safirul Haque A1 Sujo Anathhanam A1 Lopa Das A1 Robert West YR 2014 UL http://www.rcpjournals.org/content/14/2/141.abstract AB A survey of 586 trainee doctors in Yorkshire was undertaken to ascertain current junior doctors’ knowledge and understanding of alcohol units. Approximately 18% of trainees had no knowledge of alcohol units despite the fact that 82% believed they had a good knowledge. Once again, those who did not drink alcohol knew less about alcohol units than those who did. Little progress seems to have been made on this important subject since our previous survey 7 years ago. Further steps must be taken to ensure that junior doctors are taught about alcohol units during the course of their training so that they are able to counsel patients appropriately.
