Consultation/Liaison

 

This is considered a vital part of the overall functioning of the National Addiction Centre (NAC) and considerable emphasis is given to active liaison with the addiction treatment field in New Zealand, both informally and formally.

Regular progress reports of NAC activities are made available to the New Zealand addiction treatment field through a variety of means. These include, in addition to this website, a regular section in the Addiction Treatment Research News, the official newsletter of the Addiction Treatment Research Interest Group (ATRIG), a grassroots organisation initiated by NAC, and at the annual treatment conference (Cutting Edge).
