Safer Drug Consumption Facility

Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership (HSCP), NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) and other partners have worked to develop the first Safer Drug Consumption Facility (SDCF) in Scotland and the United Kingdom.

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.

SDCF - Service user information

Safer drug consumption facilities (SDCFs) are supervised healthcare settings where you can consume your own drugs, obtained elsewhere, under the supervision of trained health and social care professionals, in clean, hygienic and safe environments reducing the risk of overdose.

You will receive a compassionate service which focuses on reducing the harms associated with injecting drug use and will be given the opportunity, if desired, to access other support services.

Non-Residential Charging Policy survey for an Equality Impact Assessment (EQIA)

The aim of this anonymous survey is to gather a range of service user and carer views on the Social Work Services Social Care Charging Policy for Non-Residential Chargeable Services, which governs charges for our Glasgow City Health and Social Care Partnership services other than residential care.
