What's new in take-home #naloxone in Australia? 1/ Ange Matheson from @NSWHealth explains the NSW model which allows a whole range of workers and non-medical services across the NSW (e.g. those working NGOs without pharmacists or doctors on staff) to supply naloxone #APSAD40 
2/ Tegan Nuckey from Queensland (QuIHN) talks about their #naloxone program, adapted from the WA model.. now funded until 2023 (but no recurrent funding). Hopefully a national program will be funded by then! No cost, script, no ID - addressing key barriers.
3/ Robin Greaves (Tasmania) presented on the Tasmanian gov program where poisons regulations were changed to allow supply by NPS workers as part of their pilot. With limited funding, the pilot focused on people who use heroin, now ongoing funding provides FREE naloxone from NSPs
4/ #APSAD40 Advocacy Award winning Grace Oh (@mentalhealthwa) talks about some exciting new ways #naloxone is being supplied in WA through police and paramedics .. MANY conversations to make this happen, huge achievement!
