Substance use transformation programmes

Our work is part of the Scotland’s National Mission on Drugs and Alcohol. We help the health and social care system improve the quality and safety of drug and alcohol services. We also help improve the experience of people using those services. We do this by supporting the system to use evidence in data, literature and individual experience to improve their services.

We have researched the ways housing impacts individuals with protected characteristics. Read our report to find out more (add links, need to consider how we add them, naming them specifically).

Please send us an email at his.housing@nhs.scot if you:

  • have a question about our programme or resources
  • would like to speak to a member of our team about our work
