📣 Excellent opportunity to join a fantastic team @KingsAddictions. Who wouldn’t want to work with @PollyRadcliffe, @HelenCheyne, and @Jo_S_Neale ?! https://t.co/ydqLxczOmL
V excited to be on @CBCQuirks discussing trans men & trans women’s experiences of HIV self-testing and sexual health services.
Hope this serves as a regular reminder that it is critical to involve trans people in designing services that meet their needs.

“COVID-19 and the health of people who use drugs: What is and what could be?” Commentary with @Magda_Cerda@tim__rhodes now out highlighting @ijdrugpolicy COVID-19 special issue and emerging evidence on the impact of COVID-19 on the health of PWID - https://t.co/vnhMxCPLKm
Thank you Karen and to @NHS_SPS for the opportunity to present with @JScottUoB on this important topic. Time to revolutionise care for people who use illicit opiates in hospital (and other) settings!
“It’s crucial that water for injection... is made available for the unstably housed & harm reduction messaging is tailored to speak to the everyday realities of people who prepare and inject drugs in public spaces”

Worryingly this paper by @LJMUPHI using data from @PHI_IMS indicates that the coverage of needle & syringe programmes in England has halved since the COVID-19 restrictions were introduced https://t.co/iEMpVGsmA4
Just out from @CarePrevent! Of our 455 participants, 78% street homeless history, 64% abscess/cellulitis & 47% related hospitalisation. High hospitalisation rates for treatable & preventable conditions highlights a broken & discriminatory system. https://t.co/L7ayyMY855
I would also add that people read @pwidpride's paper on delayed healthcare seeking and normalised pain, with interview data taken from the @CarePrevent study. The paper and our participants' words add deeper context than numbers alone could ever provide. https://t.co/OXD24y2iRa
Open access in SSM, pre-proof version. This article means a lot, for so many reasons. Hard & so important to do justice to these heart-rending accounts. Thank you to all the participants & in particular memory of those deceased since we spoke. @CarePrevent https://t.co/fwoD3nmRau
Great presentation from @pwidpride on @CarePrevent work in @SDFnews webinar on care of injecting related wounds. Highlighted role of using too much citric in skin & soft tissue infections in ppl who inject drugs.
Thank you to @DrugAlcoholDep, @PHE_uk for UAM data & @JasonRDoran for conducting the analysis. We found a strong relationship between venous access difficulty and SSTI among PWID in the UK. @VivProf, @WrightTalen , @ellenheinsbroek, @CarePrevent https://t.co/DtlbvME0VX
