Free training session for professionals across Lincolnshire on naloxone, overdose risk factors and harm-reduction advice.
Overdose Awareness & Naloxone training is running at 26-30 Newland on Wednesday 11 November, from 1 pm to 3 pm. It's a two-hour session put on by the Lincolnshire Recovery Partnership, and it's aimed at professionals across the county who support people at risk of overdose.
The training covers the practical side of things first: how naloxone works in both its injectable and nasal forms, and how to actually administer it. From there, it moves into the wider context — what the risk factors for overdose are, how to recognise and respond to an opiate overdose when it's happening, and how to give harm-reduction advice to the people you're working with. It's all in person, so you're not just reading a manual; you're walking through it with others.
One of the most useful bits comes at the end: if you want one, you'll be given a Prenoxad kit to take away with you. That means you leave the session with the actual kit in hand, not just the knowledge of how to use it.
