Following years of extensive engagement, this consultation now seeks to further expand the list of individuals and services that can supply take-home Naloxone as well as introducing new reporting requirements

Have you utilised the national Naloxone Service within your community pharmacy? Perhaps you have managed to help someone in need by supplying a Naloxone kit in an emergency?

A poster for use within the dispensary (not for display to the public) with instructions as to how to use the pre-filled disposable Naloxone intra-muscular injection will arrive in the post to your pharmacies, in the coming three weeks.

Our colleagues at Scottish Government have published the following circular advising community pharmacy contractors and NHS Boards that a naloxone emergency supply service will be added to the community pharmacy Public Health Service from 30th of October 2023.

A new naloxone service to be implemented in community pharmacies later this year, preparation work that will be required and a payment for associated costs.
