Additional Information

As part of the 2026/27 Supervised Consumption Service Level Agreement (SLA), a new OST prescription management fee of £5.00 per person per month has been introduced. This applies when a patient receives at least one supervised consumption and/or take-home dose within that month. As this introduces a new process for claiming this element of payment, Waythrough have produced the attached guidance to support teams in submitting claims correctly.

Service Overview

This SLA encompasses three integrated pharmacy-based harm reduction services:

1. Needle and Syringe Programme (NSP): Provides free sterile injecting equipment, safer injecting advice, brief interventions, and signposting to additional support. Promotes safe disposal of sharps and fosters therapeutic relationships, prioritizing health and safety without condoning substance use.

2. Take-Home Naloxone (THN) Programme: Offers naloxone (nasal and injectable) to individuals at risk of, or likely to witness, an opioid overdose.

3. Emergency Naloxone Administration Programme (ENAP): Maintains on-site nasal naloxone for trained pharmacy staff to use in emergency overdose situations, with supply managed by Waythrough.

Together, these services operate simultaneously as a single, indivisible package, supporting harm reduction, public health, and overdose prevention.
