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 explores how progress with implementation is being made in settings across Scotland and the challenge that remains.
People who choose to will be able to receive medication or support through primary care providers. These may include GPs and community pharmacy. Care provided will depend on the GP or community pharmacist as well as the specialist treatment service. Speakers:
- Rachel Deas, Trainee Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Borders Addiction Service
- David Ewart, Primary Care Facilitation Team, NHS Lothian
- Gillian Robertson, Project Manager – Alcohol and Drug Service, Aberdeenshire HSCP (Gillian was unfortunately unable to make it on the day of recording)
