In October of this year, legislation regarding the distribution of naloxone is changing. Going forward, this life-saving opiate antagonist can be distributed without a prescription, in a significant step towards ‘normalising’ the use of naloxone in treatment services.
Inline with this Illy Systems are pleased to present our latest FocusOn article, providing up to date information and a case study of how Inclusion have incorporated the provision of naloxone into their service.
Please find the article HERE
“The provision of take-home naloxone is fundamental in providing safe and effective services that reduce harms to local community. Our community services recognise the individual value of providing such a lifesaving medication and we are pleased to be championing the use of Naloxone as a core part of our delivery as an NHS provider.”
