Exchange Supplies

@drwillpearson odd: we’ve got stock of all the foil products

One of our centres running NSP is struggling to get foil from their local drug service... citing a shortage. Is anyone seeing a shortage of supply? @ReducingHarm ? Staff reporting clients are coughing and spluttering after smoking drugs off kitchen foil. Foil is an easy win!

Great news from Bristol Drugs Project, full update on their blog: bdp.org.uk/bristol-drug-p…

On 26 June we set up a Drug Consumption Room in London, to show how our community can take care of itself. It was AMAZING to see all our friends and interested ppl come out to see it in action. We need these spaces everywhere, properly funded and protected by law! ✊️

I passed the crack pipe training before breakfast ! 100%.. everyone who works with PWUD should complete this training from @ReducingHarm building on the work of the @safe_pipe & supporting the roll out of safe inhalation kits across the UK.

@machinekillspod Guys, that foray into drug policy hypothesising was pretty tasteless given that fentanyl poisoning has killed more than 100,000 people in the USA in. the. last. *year* ...And the ability to vape nicotine is massive public health win.

@james_stampfer @Cranstoun_org @GBMC73 @BDProads @annaddition @SDFnews @turningpointsco @SimonCommScot Super happy to share how our pathways work!

Can anyone help out with organisations that have created meaningful paid roles for lived/living experience and would be willing to share how these pathways work. @Cranstoun_org @GBMC73 @BDProads @annaddition @SDFnews @turningpointsco @SimonCommScot

Thanks to @skynews for picking up our report. Admissions to hospital down for general public but up by 60% for people who are homeless. Need to address mental health and addiction support in the community. And more specialist #inclusionhealth practices in the UK. @PathwayUK
