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.
People have the right to ask for a worker who will support them with any help they need with housing, welfare or income. This worker will support people when using services, make sure they get what best suits them and that they are treated fairly. Speakers included:
- Rhona Willder, Scottish Independent Advocacy Alliance
- Mary Sneddon, Manager, Dundee Advocacy
- Freya Brock, Reach Advocacy
- Niamh Eastwood and Fenella Sentance, Release
