Welcome back to the BJN podcast. In this episode, Sean Boyle (Editor, British Journal of Nursing) sits down with Caitlin Paterson (Drug Liaison Nurse) to discuss misconceptions relating to drug use, how drug use relates to the wider social healthcare issues, and how nurses can work with prevention measures.

The conversation explores Caitlin's experience working with this community, the truth behind common misconceptions about addiction and harm reduction, and what changes are needed in policy to prevent the UK from heading towards a US-style opioid crisis.
