Why #drugchecking services are needed in UK cities now!
The UK is facing a synthetic opioid crisis & it will save many lives & many £££ in @NHS resources if adulterants are identified *before* consumed. Don’t wait for overdose to take action.

- There are now enough homeless kids in England alone to fill the 02 Arena nearly 7 times over.

- 4.2 Million kids in the U.K. are living in poverty.

- 440,000 children are in poverty despite their parents or single parent working full-time.

Kids really are being set up for future failure through no fault of their own …

For patients with liver disease who continue to drink, qualitative studies are required to explore the patient journey pre and post hospital admission, which should focus on identifying facilitators and barriers to accessing treatment. https://t.co/5IOPHMKyZh
