Summary
The Non-Fatal Overdose Pathway enables the Scottish Ambulance Service to identify people at high risk of drug-related harm on attendance. Frontline ambulance clinicians deliver this new model. They input key data which triggers the pathway at the local health board. Teams also use this opportunity to talk to people about and offer take-home naloxone.
