Excellent needle exchange at Ashley House

"Excellent needle exchange at Ashley House"

About: Ashley House / Substance Misuse Service

(as a service user),

Just wanted to say that Ashley House provides an excellent needle exchange alongside the outreach. They now provide some new kit; it’s all compact in like a glasses case and really really discreet. They’re also providing “one hit kits” you’ve got everything in a little sterile pack. Complete tackle! How good is that!?

Thank you for your posting which I have shared with both the outreach team and the health promotion nurse.

As Steve has said we want to encourage service users to give us their views on the type of equipment we are supplying,for example we have service user representation at the Ashley House harm reduction forum and as he suggests if you have any ideas about equipment please let us know.
