Pharmacy’s role in reducing harm and preventing drug deaths
Pharmacy’s role in reducing harm and preventing drug deaths
Drug deaths have been rising year-on-year in Scotland, and in the UK, and work is ongoing looking at preventing drug deaths, identifying good practice examples to learn from and researching barriers to treatment.
Pharmacists, and pharmacy teams, already play a big role in supporting and providing treatment to people who use drugs, as well as offering harm reduction services and advice. Their work has been especially valued as the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted services and patient access across the country. (RPS - Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain, oD)
