The talk is about Naloxone, what it is, its importance as an emergency medication for the use of reversing the effects of opioid overdose, and will include a demonstration on how it can be administered. This talk is being given by registered mental health nurse Louise York who wrote her dissertation on Naloxone and since working in the field of Naloxone has made York the fourth hospital in the country to provide Naloxone as an emergency medicine in the A&E department, as well as working alongside a team to write the Naloxone policy for Leeds Hospital.
