Drugs and Bugs – Bacterial Infection Outbreaks

An introduction to bacterial infection in people who use drugs.

The training will give an overview of bacterial infection and various outbreaks seen in Scotland. It gives participants the opportunity to explore harm reduction information relevant to bacterial infection. The training will provide an overview of the main signs and symptoms which practitioners should be aware of and will encourage participants to think about and develop a response relevant to their services.

Learning Outcomes

  • demonstrate increased knowledge in the area of bacterial infection
  • demonstrate increased confidence to deliver harm reduction information to people who use drugs
  • recognise symptoms of infection and respond effectively
  • contribute to the development of an effective response to potential outbreaks which can be implemented in their service.

This session will be held online using MS Teams.

Care Opinion is an independent, not-for-profit, website that gives patients and carers a way of voicing what they think of the services they receive.

We will listen to positive and negative comments and respond to those in a way that is honest, supportive and constructive.

We will use this feedback to make our services in North Lanarkshire the best they can be.
