Training from 7pm

What is naloxone?

Naloxone (also known as Narcan) is one of the most powerful tools we have to counter death from an opioid overdose. Naloxone is a medication that can temporarily reverse the effects of an opioid overdose giving emergency services more time to respond to an emergency. Naloxone can work within 5 minutes and can last for between 20 and 40 minutes. This could be the difference that might save a person’s life in an overdose situation. Naloxone comes in both pre-measured syringes and a nasal spray.

Naloxone Training

Bristol Drug Project’s naloxone training sessions will teach you everything you need to know about administering naloxone.

The training will cover the different types of naloxone, identifying the symptoms of an opiate overdose, how to administer naloxone and how to replace your kit if it has perished or been used.
