Needle and Syringe Exchange Service

The Needle and Syringe Exchange Service is a free, confidential service for people who inject drugs. It is designed to reduce the spread of blood borne viruses by providing free, sterile injecting equipment and by disposing of used equipment safely. The leaflet explains how the scheme works and provides contact details for all the participating pharmacies, and the local outreach teams.

The leaflet 'Needle and syringe exchange scheme' is being updated. A list of the current providers of the Needle and Syringe Exchange Scheme can be found in the 'Needle and Syringe Exchange Services Nov 2024' pdf document below.
