title: Developing an e-learning resource in clinical risk assessment.
abstract: This article describes a project in which computer-centred technology was used to deliver clinical risk assessment training to staff in a specialist addictions unit. The difficulty in releasing staff from already stretched services led to the development of an in-house e-learning tool designed to bridge the gap between standardised risk assessment training and the requirements of staff who work in addictions services. The e-learning tool was developed on a small budget and is fairly rudimentary, but has been well received by staff, although they do not regard it as a replacement for classroom-based teaching. This was a pilot project that aimed to develop the resource and consider its use as a method of future training delivery.
