Tayside naloxone programme

> > >

To supply naloxone (supplying in advance when there is no emergency, but a person is at risk of an opiate overdose) you must attend Naloxone T4T (training for trainers) programme and be an approved supplier. Approved suppliers can include nurses, pharmacists and staff working in third sector services.

Please note that ANY staff member can train someone on the signs of overdose and how to use naloxone after they have attended the Naloxone T4T training, however, currently in Tayside only certain staff can supply naloxone. Staff members of registered services who wish to supply Take Home Naloxone must complete approved Naloxone Training for Trainers (Naloxone T4T) – documents below.
