New data on gender-related differences in #HCV treatment among PWID in Australia from @ETHOSII presented by @valerio_heather @KirbyInstitute at #HR23@HRInews. Highlights need for gender-specific interventions to enhance HCV care, particularly among women of childbearing age.
THIS! Harm reduction and treatment are not a dichotomy. They should never be framed as such. It is not 'either/or.' Both options should be available to all people struggling with their substance use *alongside* housing, income, and empathy. #ableg https://t.co/jsj2mmszYY
Got a hard copy of an academic article I co-authored called “The Need for Evidence Based Harm Reduction Services in Correctional Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic” in the @jpp1988! Written by @KateHarland4, Holly Richards, Stefanie Materniak, @SofiaRB_88, and myself.
Great way to end a great clinical day! Our paper ‘The Need for Evidence-based Harm Reduction in Correctional Facilities During the COVID-19 Pandemic’ was published in @jpp1988.

@ehyshka keeping it real with us: many patients WILL use drugs while hospitalized. Neither policing nor ignoring are the solution. Harm reduction is the only way! 📢📢📢

@NPNBpublic @nb_docs
We don’t need to follow trends of the rest of the country, NB needs to implement safe supply for people who use drugs now. Let’s take note of the work clinicians in Ontario and BC are already doing
