Glasgow opens UK's first safer drug consumption facility

The UK’s first safer drug consumption facility opened in Glasgow on  13 January.

Based at the Hunter Street Health and Care Centre, the facility – to be known as The Thistle – will operate daily from 9am to 9pm, 365 days of the year.

Help to plan any future care needs

Across our HSCP’s health and social care services, we aim to deliver person-centred care. To do this our staff need to work with everyone – the person being supported, those who matter to them and the other health care professionals involved in their care.
