NEPTUNE (NOVEL PSYCHOACTIVE TREATMENT: UK NETWORK)

NEPTUNE has been developed to improve clinical practice in the management of
harms resulting from the use of club drugs and novel psychoactive substances.

Open-access e-learning modules look at the acute and chronic harms and clinical
management of a range of NPS and club drugs.


ABOUT NEPTUNE

NEPTUNE is a clinical response to the emerging challenge of club drugs and novel
psychoactive substances.

The project has responded to the current gap in knowledge for the clinical
management of these substances by undertaking a review of the available research
evidence to produce a comprehensive and evidence based reference document.

Phase Two of project NEPTUNE has translated the guidance document into
accessible and easy to use online training. Open-access e-leaning modules are
available on this site

The project was being independently evaluated by the College Centre for Quality
Improvement.

NEPTUNE was funded by the Health Foundation, an independent charity working to
improve the quality of health care in the UK. The 2022 update of the e-learning
was funded and supported by EU-Action Against Drugs and Organised Crime
(EU-Act).

It is hosted by Addictions Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust
and led by Professor Owen Bowden-Jones and Dr Dima Abdulrahim.


CLINICAL GUIDANCE

Textbook of the Clinical Management of Club Drugs and Novel Psychoactive
Substances is an extensive and comprehensive reference aimed at clinicians and
other practitioners across a range of clinical settings.

It provides detailed information and guidance on the acute and chronic harms of
a range of club drugs and NPS and their management.

The guidance was developed out of a comprehensive review of the English language
research evidence on the harms of a range of club drugs and NPS and their
clinical management, based on systematic methods.

A critical appraisal of the literature reviewed was carried out, and which is
the process of examining research systematically to judge the quality and
validity of research, how generalizable its findings are, and its relevance in a
particular context. Where research evidence was lacking, consensus was sought
from the multi-disciplinary NEPTUNE expert advisory group.




ELEARNING

In partnership with the Royal College of Psychiatrists, Project NEPTUNE has
developed training modules that are accessible and easy to use for busy
front-line clinicians and other practitioners. These e-learning modules are
developed based on the principles used by the College to develop Continuous
Professional Development (CPD). They include multi-media and interactive
elements and are open access (free of charge).

The Neptune e-learning modules have been updated.

Please register with the College to access the modules.

Once registered you will find the 2022 modules on RCPsych’s new eLearning Hub.

If you are a member of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, you can log in using
the same username and password with which you access the members’ area of the
College website.

Any certificates generated before 6th June 2022 will not be available to
download from the Neptune site.

Please contact elearning@rcpsych.ac.uk after this date if you need confirmation
of completion of any NEPTUNE modules from before 6th June 2022 – we will be able
to confirm completions in the last 2 years by email.


INDEPENDENT EVALUATION

To ensure the quality of our outputs and their effective use at local levels,
NEPTUNE training and tools was subject to an independent evaluation by the
College Centre for Quality Improvement of the Royal College of Psychiatrists,
who also published recommendations for implementers.


MEDICATION ADDICTION


ATOMIC – A NEW MOBILE LEARNING APPLICATION

WHAT IS ATOMIC (ADDICTION TO MEDICATION- IMPROVING CARE)?

ATOMIC is a mobile-phone application, which provides training on the acute and
chronic harms of non-medical prescription drug use.

ATOMIC works on all types of phones (IOS and Android) and is a web-based
application. It is free of charge, after simple registration.

This mobile-learning application gives busy clinicians the flexibility to learn
at any time and any place, on their mobile phones, tablets or other devices.

The App is best viewed on mobile devices and can be found at
https://addiction-to-medication.org/atomic/.

WHAT DOES ATOMIC COVER?

ATOMIC is an evidence-based, mobile-learning application aimed at clinicians and
other practitioners. It is a response to increasing public health concern
regarding the harms of non-medical prescription drug use. Harmful patterns of
use, including addiction to medication, are poorly understood and there is a gap
in clinical knowledge and experience.

There are four modules in this app:

Module 1: Overview and background to the non-medical use of prescription drugs
and addiction to medication.

Module 2: Non-medical use of benzodiazepines, including benzodiazepine-like
novel psychoactive substances (NPS).

Module 3: Non-medical use of other prescription and over-the-counter medications
with primarily depressant effects (Gabapentin, Tramadol, Codeine, ‘LEAN’).

Module 4: Non-medical use of prescription medications with stimulant effects
(Modafinil, methylphenidate and other amphetamine-based medication).

ATOMIC is based on the principles of continuous professional development. You
will be issued with a personalised certificate when you complete a module and
achieve at least 80% in the post-module test (multiple choice questionnaire).

We hope you enjoy the training and find it useful.

The App is best viewed on mobile devices and can be found at
https://addiction-to-medication.org/atomic/.
