[Webinar] Exploring the Scottish Experience: Reflections from recent Harm Reduction Initiatives

Join GLEPHA's Webinar on Scotland's Pioneering Harm Reduction Initiatives
Scotland has the highest reported rates of drug-related deaths in Europe — and addressing that has required genuinely innovative thinking across policy, policing and public health. This free webinar, organised by GLEPHA's Special Interest Group on Law Enforcement and Harm Reduction, brings together three expert speakers to explore two significant recent developments: Police Scotland's national rollout of Naloxone to frontline officers, and the establishment of The Thistle, Scotland's first Drug Consumption Facility. Speakers will also reflect on the pace of progress, the barriers encountered, and what's made change possible.
Who this is for:
- Community safety practitioners
- Police Scotland colleagues and policing researchers
- Public health professionals working in harm reduction or substance use
- Policymakers and third sector staff with an interest in drug-related harm
