MAT Standard 7 - All people have the option of MAT shared with Primary Care

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 7 - All people have the option of MAT shared with Primary Care.
