Harm Reduction in Canada - Lessons Learned and Reflections - Dr Marilou Gagnon, RN, PhD

‘Working Together to Prevent Drug-related Deaths’ took place in Glasgow on the 30th of August 2018. The event explored how preventing drug-related deaths should be everyone’s responsibility and how it is possible to work in partnership to avoid such devastating loss of lives. It sought to build on SDF’s work on Staying Alive In Scotland and followed the launch of Scotland’s drug strategy and the National Records of Scotland report on the number of lives tragically lost through preventable fatal overdoses in 2017. Presentations and workshops offered inspirational strategies based on good practice and training tasters on skills and knowledge required by frontline staff and managers to support improvements in service provision. The keynote speaker was Dr Marilou Gagnon, RN, PhD Associate Professor at the School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Victoria. Marilou’s research addresses gaps in knowledge that have the potential to inform public debate and policies, while also advancing the rights and the health of marginalised communities.
