Health promotion has been an integral role of nurses for decades. A deficit in health promotion information for drug users was observed both within the Addiction Services and at a national level. In order to address this, several members of the nursing team within the addiction service came together to discuss and examine the observed deficit. Consequently a strategy to develop and implement an initiative to meet the health information needs of drug users was instigated.
