Description

The main aim of this service is to reduce the transmission of viruses and other infections caused by sharing injecting equipment, such as HIV, Hepatitis B and C. In turn, this will reduce the prevalence of blood-borne viruses and bacterial infections, so benefiting wider society.

This includes the collection and safe disposal of used injecting equipment from NSP providers. This Public Health programme provides a harm reduction intervention which aims to facilitate a reduction in drug-related morbidity/mortality, drug related litter and positively impact upon anti-social behaviours and drug-related crime, and support people towards sustainable recovery.
