SIPP: Safe Inhalation Pipe Provision

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.

Applications  are open for a Qualitative (bit.ly/4bQyj5d)  and Quantitative (bit.ly/44Uneh8) research post on our project: Sex Workers Evaluate Reporting Violence (SWERV) with LSHTM, National Ugly Mugs and Brunel University.  Closes June 4th.

Thank you @DameCarolBlack for alerting us to intel few in the sector are aware of. From @DDNMagazine “Drug treatment is now better”!!! People who use illicit drugs can now “have faith” in drug treatment services!! Wonderful news! Does this mean … 👇1)

Prof Magdalena Harris says “I think, to my mind, not providing pipes or the services … sends a message to people who use crack that nobody cares about them,”. Looking forward to working with @pwidpride on SIPP study on Thursday and Friday filtermag.org/harm-reduction…

Crack pipe provision is prohibited under UK law!!! What harms can this produce? What is needed to inform change? Find out here: rdcu.be/dwTW8 SIPP @safe_pipe project: creating evidence to improve policy & practice for people who use crack in the UK

@safe_pipe @lshtm is recruiting! Most qual data generated: provides time to write, build publications & co-create outputs. Supportive, multidisciplinary team. High impact: change policy & practice for a highly stigmatised population. Please apply / share. jobs.ac.uk/job/DEG315/res…

Me: Suella Braverman is calling homelessness a lifestyle choice. Daughter (14): Yeah, not a choice made by them though! I think @MichaelMarmot may be next on her reading list.

Great end to the morning at #StreetMed23 conference with amazing presentation from Professor Magdalena Harris @pwidpride sharing abt @safe_pipe provision & the health benefits but also how for those smoking crack, pipe provision can be the only reason to connect with services.

Infinitely proud of our team for countless hours of work that led to our first publication: tinyurl.com/4xt4cx2d #HarmReduction

Safe Inhalation Pipe Provision study Project Team met yesterday. LSHTM, harm reduction services and peer partners celebrate prevention benefits and service engagement success. Community mobilisation on crack in Bristol shows potential! #peerworks #HarmReduction @pwidpride
