MAT Standard 2 - All people are supported to make an informed choice on what medication to use for MAT, and the appropriate dose.

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 2 – All people are supported to make an informed choice on what medication to use for MAT, and the appropriate dose.

People will decide which medication they would like to be prescribed and the most suitable dose options after a discussion with their worker about the effects and side effects. There should also be discussion about dispensing arrangements, and this should be reviewed regularly

Speakers include:

• Jennifer Kelly - Advanced Pharmacist, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde

• Daniel Ahmed - Clinical Director Cranstoun, Clinical Partner, Foundations, Middlesbrough

• Craig Sayers - Clinical Lead Prison Healthcare, NHS Forth Valley
