Great to do an AV presentation to members of the Oireachtas on the importance of developing nurse prescribing of OST. 14 years since the recommendation was made by @MichaelFarrellE little or no progress has been made. Thank you to @ThomasGouldSF for facilitating

@IntNSAGlobal @IrelandIntNSA @IntNSAEurope Dear IntNSA This online course is designed for busy nurses and other healthcare professionals. Come join us and learn more 😊

When discussing people who use drugs, or people who are dependent on drugs, please remember that they are just that... People. Best to avoid the use of stigmatising language. PWUD probably already have to deal with enough stigma.
