1/ 🚨 Naloxone saves lives — but are we prescribing it enough? 🚨
A new U.S. study shows naloxone co-prescription rates are increasing 📈, yet disparities remain. Older patients & rural areas are still less likely to receive it.

2/ While this study focuses on the U.S., the lessons are highly relevant for the UK. 🇬🇧
Recent changes to the UK's Human Medicines Regulations allow more organisations to distribute naloxone.
This is a huge opportunity to improve access & reduce overdoses. 💉
This week's amendment to the Human Medicines Regulations significantly expands who can supply naloxone - Police, probation, prison officers, youth justice workers, hcp & more. This is a massive life saving opportunity, one we need to utilise.
Delighted that my conference presentation featured in the highlights reel from last years Turning Point #saferlives event.
Having presented for the last two years I’m back in Birmingham today for this years event as a guest.

I’ve worked with Sir John a couple of times on internal policing projects, aimed at widening the use of #naloxone. A gent, with a mass of enthusiasm for saving life. And why not.
Hugs & goodbyes in the office, #police uniform worn for the last time. It’s been challenging, frustrating, upsetting & tiring. But also caring, compassionate, uplifting & full of people making a difference. Holiday, rest & peace before starting a new career. Loved it.
Great to catch up with & say goodbye to colleagues from across the County Durham harm reduction community today. We’ve made great strides with #naloxone, nitazene challenges to come. @DurhamCouncil@Humankind_UK@DurhamRecovery
The NPCC Promising Practice conference yesterday at The Canadian High Commission was attended by colleagues from across the #harmreduction sector, together sharing ideas to keep people safe. Delighted that #naloxone was repeatedly highlighted. @DurhamPolice@DurhamPCC
Earlier this week @DurhamPolice PC Connor Elders on patrol in #durham saw an unconscious male on the ground. Identifying an #opioid overdose, he called an ambulance and then successfully administered #naloxone, or as he described it, ‘a cracking bit of kit’. #naloxonesaveslives
Out of the blue thank you emails always bring a smile 😀.
Sharing the learning works! Loved helping another #police force (many miles from me) to finally get approval for #naloxone carriage over the line👌.
#naloxonesaveslives
Today, the government announced their intention to expand the provision & carriage of naloxone (an opiate overdose-reversing drug), in a welcome decision which will ultimately save lives.
We want you to know that even when life feels like it's been flipped upside down, we can still #TurnItAround together. 🔃
