Abstract

In 2010 Public Health Wales Trust, supported by Welsh Government, introduced the Harm Reduction Database (HRD) in all statutory and voluntary sector Needle and Syringe Programmes (NSP) services across Wales. The HRD was developed in response to research indicating a lack of consistency with regard high quality NSP provision, including accessibility of a full range of sterile injecting equipment. Since implementation the HRD has been further developed to include additional modules designed to reduce specific harms relating to substance misuse. The HRD Wales provides an anonymous web-based mechanism for recording activity relating to the range of harm reduction services provided to those accessing substance misuse services. The unique client data collected includes demographic, health and social care service contact information as well as service level activity data. CPV: 48000000, 48000000.
