NALOXONE ACTION GROUP: ENGLAND
Access – Overdose Prevention – Family/Peers/first responders – Saving Lives
In 2013 there were 765 deaths involving heroin/morphine in England – a sharp rise of 32% from the previous year. Many of these fatalities could have been prevented by the use of Naloxone as an intervention – this is a safe and effective prescription medicine that can reverse the effects of opioid overdoses.
