SDCF - Engagement
In September 2023 Glasgow City Integration Joint Board (IJB) approved a plan to implement a Safer Drug Consumption Facility in Hunter Street Health and Social Care centre.
Safer drug consumption facilities (SDCFs) are clean, hygienic environments where people can consume drugs, obtained elsewhere, under the supervision of trained health and social care professionals, reducing the risk of overdose and infectious diseases whilst offering support and access to healthcare and social care services.
Maximising Independence
Over recent years, Glasgow City HSCP has been continually adapting the way we support people so that we can meet their needs in ways that maintain their independence. Now, we're looking to build even further on this approach.
SDCF - Background information
There are over 100 Safer Drug Consumption Facilities (SDCF) worldwide including Europe, North America and Australia.
SDCFs offer a compassionate, person-centred service which focuses on reducing the harms associated with injecting drug use and helps people access appropriate services to meet their needs.
