The effective implementation of the Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Standards will transform treatment services and the experience of people in treatment. Delivering the National Mission to Reduce Drug Deaths and the treatment engagement target depends on this transformation being made. This webinar series will explore how progress with implementation is being made in settings across Scotland and the challenge that remains.

Standard 1 - All people accessing services have the option to start MAT from the same day of presentation. This means that a person can begin medication on the day they ask for help. 

Speakers include:
- Trina Ritchie, Lead Clinician and Senior Medical Officer, Glasgow Alcohol and Drug Recovery Services
- Shelley Jones, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Community Addictions Service, West Lothian
- James Tidder, Consultant Psychiatrist, NHS Borders Addiction Service
