SDF Webinar - MAT Standard 4

Towards Implementation: The MAT Standards Webinar Series

The effective implementation of the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Standards will transform treatment services and the experience of people in treatment. Delivering the National Mission to Reduce Drug Deaths and the treatment engagement target depends on this transformation being made.

This webinar series will explore how progress with implementation is being made in settings across Scotland and the challenge that remains.

Standard 4: All people are offered evidence-based harm reduction at the point of MAT delivery. 

While a person is in treatment and prescribed medication, they are still able to access harm reduction services – for example, needles and syringes, BBV testing, injecting risk assessments, wound care and naloxone. They would be able to receive these from a range of providers including their treatment service, and this would not affect their treatment or prescription. 

Speakers include:

• John Campbell, Harm Reduction Lead, Greater Glasgow and Clyde Health Board

• Donna Thain, Managed Care Network Manager - Sexual Health & BBV, Directorate of Public Health

• Simon Pringle, Service Manager, Alcohol and Drugs Action, Aberdeen

• Laura Rothney, Senior Nurse Practitioner, Aberdeen Integrated Drug & Alcohol Service

• Joe Tay, Clinical Services Director, Leeds Forward

Friday 21st October 2022, 1.00pm - 2.20pm
