A ‘wound aware’ drug service does X, Y and Z
People who inject drugs are at risk of serious and potentially life-threatening wounds, but often experience complex barriers to healthcare. New resource from Public Health England guides commissioners and providers to build ‘wound aware’ services – services that prevent infections, identify worsening injection sites, and provide advocacy and access to treatment. This includes a role for all staff to keep an eye on service users’ health and know who to tell or what to do if they spot a problem. Click button below for our analysis of the study.
