COURSE DESCRIPTION
Scotland has the highest reported rates of drug-related deaths in Europe, with 19.1 drug-related deaths per 100,000 people.
Addressing drug-related harm has been recognised as a significant public health challenge, requiring innovative, multi-sectorial trauma-informed approaches that prioritise engagement and prevention.
In this webinar, our three expert speakers will explore recent harm reduction-focused developments in Scotland including:
The impact and ripple effects of Police Scotland’s national rollout of Naloxone and associated officer training programme.
Partnerships, impact and collaborations that have supported The Thistle, Scotland’s first Drug Consumption Facility.
The rate of progress, barriers, and enablers of change.
