    Needle Exchange

    Discussion List

    Here at the National Needle Exchange Forum (NNEF), we also moderate an open access email discussion group to help connect our members and allies, and anyone interested in needle and syringe programmes in the UK. This is a Google group email list and we encourage anyone interested in getting more involved to join and connect with other likeminded colleagues.
