As the National Poisons Information Service (NPIS) looks to increase surveillance of #propranolol use, MIMS speaks to a GP and a prescribing pharmacist to hear what they are seeing in their patient populations.

[The Loop @WeAreTheLoopUK]

The @NCA_UK estimates that there are currently 2 drug-related deaths every week in the UK from nitazenes & this is unlikely to reduce anytime soon.
#drugchecking identifies adulterants in the illegal drug market & can divert people away from dangerous drugs *before* consumption.

[WalesTox - TocsCymru @WalesTox]

As we look forward to the new year ahead, here are some of the units achievements and activities from 2023!

[WalesTox - TocsCymru @WalesTox]

Happy new year!

Our new years resolution this year is to increase our engagement with service users and members of the public through education and training!

What would you like to see from the Welsh poisons Service?

[The Loop @WeAreTheLoopUK]

National, fully funded drug testing & especially in-person #drugchecking are essential a) to understand what is in circulation, & b) to get evidence (not speculation) on what it is sold as.
This has been The Loop’s mission for 10 years. We are preparing for the challenge ahead.

NEW: Private jets getting ready to leave for a ‘Climate Change’ conference in Dubai are frozen on the runway in Munich as 60% of Europe is covered in snow.

Let me say that again: Rich people getting ready to board their gas guzzling jets to fly to a ‘Climate Change’ (formerly known as Global Warming) conference can’t leave because their planes are covered in freezing snow.

[Ella Edwards @ella_edwards23]

The irony of holding #COP28 in Dubai…

[Christophe Stove @christophestove]

Seizure in North London of ~150.000 (!) pills reportedly containing a (hitherto unspecified) #nitazene.
🚨☠️ most nitazenes are more potent than fentanyl!☠️🚨
Pfff... are we entering the 'post-heroin era' in Europe by even skipping the 'fentanyl era'?
