Naloxone distribution course is live

After almost a year of work the course Distributing Naloxone Kits to Clients is live! The online course takes about one hour to complete.

This course is designed for VCH staff including nurses, social workers, allied health, and physicians in all settings, as well as anyone who will be distributing/dispensing Naloxone kits to people at risk of an overdose, and/or friends and family members of those at risk. It’s also a great way for to keep up to date the VCH clinical practice documents to support your practice. The course code is 16608.

Pre-requisite course

Before taking this new course, a 15-20 minute pre-requisite course must be taken, Quick Learn Lesson: Naloxone Administration.

Thank you!

Many people helped bring this course together, especially Sara Young, Verity Buskard, Sonya Ishiguro, Angela Harvey, Danielle Cousineau, Christina Chant, Sebastien Payan, and Sally Kupp.

Harm reduction policy

Also, more than a year ago VCH implemented a Harm Reduction Practice policy which helps everyone understand what harm reduction is and why it’s so critical in your practice.
