This post has been funded by the Scottish Government in response to outbreaks of infection among people who use drugs. The post holder will undertake a range of work to improve and safeguard the health of people who use drugs with regard to bacterial and other infections.
This will include improving both prevention and response. The aim is to improve the quality of interventions to people at risk of infection; partnership working between appropriate services and the preparedness of frontline services and user groups to respond to outbreaks of infection among people who use drugs.
Training experience and an understanding of harm reduction approaches and practice are essential, as are strong communication skills and an ability to develop joint working and a partnership approach. Candidates must show evidence of initiative, resourcefulness and the ability to effectively engage with diverse groups.
As an SDF employee you will benefit from excellent terms and conditions including generous annual leave entitlement, a range of learning and development opportunities, competitive pension contribution and an employee support and counselling service. Accidental opioid overdose has become a public health crisis in many countries, causing annually more than , deaths worldwide. NalPORS is a multi-national, prospective, mixed methods study of the effectiveness of naloxone including intranasal Nyxoid administration by lay people in reversing opioid overdose.
It aims to obtain rates of overdose and naloxone use in its various formulations as well as how closely real-life use conforms to the suggested overdose response guidelines , develop a better understanding of naloxone administration and related overdose reversals by lay people, and quantify the administration rate of take-home naloxone by lay people to prevent fatal outcomes from opioid overdose.
The study involves recruiting individuals over 6 countries who have been pre-supplied with naloxone and followed up over six months to determine whether they have witnessed or experienced an overdose. The post will involve assisting with every aspect of this study being undertaken in Scotland, including set up of the study, liaising with sites, overseeing recruitment, ensuring adherence to protocol, administering research interviews over the telephone or face to face if restriction allow , undertaking data entry and reporting of serious adverse events.
The post will also involve providing research support for the evaluation of the peer naloxone project. Scottish Drugs Forum is delighted to be seeking a passionate and motivated individual to develop, coordinate and support peer naloxone supply across Scotland.
This post is an extension to the existing peer naloxone project that has been funded by the Drug Deaths Taskforce Innovation Fund and is an exciting opportunity to contribute to drug death prevention efforts. People who have experience of drug use are instantly credible among their peers when it comes to imparting harm reduction messages and in particular, overdose prevention strategies.
They have a powerful reach in to communities and within the prison environment, which is unique to other forms of service provision. This post will seek to maximise peer to peer naloxone with a coordinated and supported approach by delivering high quality training to peers, providing ongoing support and developing a national peer network to enhance the delivery of naloxone provision by people who have experience of drug use.
Importantly, this will include paying community peers as sessional workers. This is a fantastic opportunity to work on a project that can reduce the stigma towards people who use drugs by embedding the work of peers in drug services so that they are viewed as equal partners in overdose responses. This is an opportunity to work as part of a busy and dynamic team that plays a crucial role within a national third sector organisation and to contribute towards the reduction of drug related harms by ensuring the workforce is fully trained to deliver harm reduction interventions.
This will be achieved by assessment of injecting risk AIR training for frontline workers who work with people who inject drugs, providing bespoke training for NHS resus training officers who will cascade to all GP practice staff as well as general harm reduction training for frontline workers on responding to poly substance use and overdose. The post holder will work alongside our existing trainers, the work will aim to contribute to measurable improvements in the quality of services for people affected by problem drug and alcohol use.
This is an opportunity to work as part of a busy and dynamic team that plays a crucial role within a national third sector organisation and to support the activity of the SDF Learning Centre which delivers work-based qualifications to the drug and alcohol workforce. The post holder will work alongside our existing trainers, the work will aim to contribute to measurable improvements in the quality of services for people affected by problem drug and alcohol use as well as support and develop the delivery of the work-based qualifications offered through our learning centre.
A key evolution and strength of the RWTP is that the learning aspects of the course are primarily remotely delivered, thus enabling people who live in rural areas across the Highlands to actively participate. We are pleased to be recruiting for 3 new exciting positions of Development Officer — Living Experience. This is great opportunity to work as part of a busy and dynamic team. Elizabeth Kipp-Campbell, director of the Office of Human Research Ethics, says their policies come from federal regulations.
To protect the identities of the forum posters, the researchers do not include usernames in the report, and they changed the wording of some of the posts while keeping the meaning intact. Besides sharing stories about drug use, many forum users ask for advice on how to use drugs or how to combine them.
Some of the discussion is about recovery from addictions. This willingness to share could provide some public health solutions to drug abuse. One way to use this data could be to plant people in these forums to intervene when a discussion approaches physical or legal harm to the poster. Another involves using web scraping as an automated tool for these interventions. The success of this strategy would depend largely on how credible the people intervening seem to the forum users, according to Christopher Ringwalt , a senior research scientist at the UNC Injury Prevention Research Center.
Law enforcement could use this tool to target people for investigation, Martin points out. Court sentencing recommendations have already moved to algorithms in some places, so to Martin, a world where algorithms look for illegal behavior online is not a far-fetched idea. It helps with anticipating trends, risks, emerging issues, and their potential implications and opportunities in order to draw useful insights for strategic planning, policy-making and preparedness. The workshop will involve identifying and analysing megatrends to explore global changes and their implications for local policy.
The overall objective of the workshop will be to provide participants with an understanding of what foresight is and why it is important, as well as introducing wider changes in the environment that may have significant implications for drugs and drug monitoring in the future.
