Who we are
The Monitoring Unit for Substances in the East (MUSE) is a dedicated unit within erpho. We have been commissioned by the National Treatment Agency (NTA) to take responsibility for collecting Eastern region substance misuse treatment data required for the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS).
What we do
MUSE provides a range of services to all organisations involved in the planning, delivery, monitoring and analysis of substance misuse treatment across the region. We aim to:
- Support substance misuse treatment providers in the provision of high quality data to the NDTMS and make effective use of that data for local needs.
- Provide a central service to all key stakeholders, encouraging collaborative efforts to improve the quality of substance misuse treatment services.
- Provide advice and support on the use of available software systems.
Reports produced by MUSE and others can be found on the Drug Misuse Topic Page
If you require adhoc NDTMS data analysis please email your request to muse.enquiries@erpho.org.uk - this is our dedicated request service.
The MUSE training page is a new addition to this website. You can download a selection of MUSE and NTA training resources form the training homepage and find information about NDTMS training events happening in the Eastern region.

MUSE have produced a set of ‘Adult Drug’ and ‘Young People Substance Misuse’ profiles which outline key information about substance misuse by Drug and Alcohol Action Team (DAAT) in the East of England in 2009. The profiles have been designed to tackle health inequalities by providing local comparative data for DAATs. The primary source of data for the profiles is the 2008/09 Eastern NDTMS (National Drug Treatment Monitoring System) however other data sources have been used. The profiles and a ‘Guidance and Metadata’ document can be found by clicking on the link above.

| | Dataset 'G' Training for all service providers- April 2010
The NTA annual review of the current NDTMS dataset has taken place and will be released to all services in April 2010. Drug and Alcohol Action Teams (DAAT) in the East of England will be inviting representatives from all service providers in the Eastern region to attend a half day training event to find out how the changes will affect them. The changes include new data items and some changes to reference data.
The training events are all planned to take place in March 2010. If you have not received an invitation to one of these events I would suggest that you contact your DAAT to enquire. Software suppliers should be upgrading your software systems in due course. You may need to contact them to confirm that this will be taking place. The NTA data entry tool system will be updated automatically nearer 1st April.

| | NEW Careplan Review NDTMS Update Template - Updated Jan 2010 - click here
MUSE have developed a careplan review NDTMS update template which has been designed to help keyworkers capture at careplan review updated information advised by their client. The form only collects changes to NDTMS information about where the client lives and their Hepatitis B and C situation as this is the ONLY information which should be updated in NDTMS after it was originally recorded at initial assessment.
