Clinicians, public health specialists and researchers have developed draft information standards for recording alcohol and tobacco use in electronic health records.

The aim of this project is to develop an initial standard for sharing information on events taking place as part of the Department of Health and Social Care’s 'Healthy Child Programme: Pregnancy and the First 5 Years of Life'.

The RCP promotes public health through evidence-based policy work to tackle challenges posed by air pollution and climate change, alcohol, obesity and tobacco.
