This is a summary report outlining the operation of Herefordshire (DASH) Needle Exchange Scheme, with reference to national service delivery expectations and recent national and international research and evidence base supporting the requirements for a comprehensive delivery of needle exchange and associated harm reduction interventions for drug users.
It considers requirements for enhanced delivery that, by building on its locally developed platform, would play a significant role in reducing the prevalence of Blood Borne Virus transmission amongst injecting drug users (IDU’s) in Herefordshire.
The report was written by Danny Morris from DASH.
