Thanks for the Naloxone I saved another life at the
weekend and I need more.  I have saved lots of lives now,
because of Naloxone my friends are still alive.
Your training has worked well on the team,
they had to administer 2 shots of  injectable
Naloxone on someone today in Irvine who
had overdosed and was lying in the street.
The police were around the individual, two
team members went up and administered 2
shots of Naloxone and then the ambulance
came. A life saved. indeed!
Observed a commotion of people trying to
rouse/stand up a gentleman who was clearly
unconscious. Ambulance had been called, quickly
assessed that an overdose was likely and
administered Naloxone, after the first dose the
gentleman woke up and thanked me for saving his
life.

recommendations 0
2021/22 - no confirmed published information as yet
From all reports - the key learning or recommendations were:
Support all staff working within NADARS to be aware of, and feel comfortable to use, all the
available resources and forums at their disposal.
Consider offering social care colleagues some training in mental health and well being, as well as
how best they can access resources when they are needed
Within this reporting period the Mental Health Service Adverse Event Review Group (AERG)
commissioned a review to investigate the circumstances surrounding the management and care of a
client within NADARS.   There are a variety of forums within NADARS to discuss complex cases and
seek advice and support, these include - weekly allocation meeting, weekly discussion meeting and
weekly psychiatry meeting. These meetings provide opportunities for multi-disciplinary discussion
between health and social care. It is the view of the Review team that some staff find these meetings
daunting and feel unable to speak up. These forums sound like the perfect opportunity to discuss a
complex case like this,  to get a wide range of advice and support. This may have provided reassurance
for the keyworker involved that all aspects of the patient’s mental health and wellbeing had been
assessed. There are also mental health trained staff in this forum which may have negated the need
for a referral to the CMHT.  The review team suggest the following recommendations:
