The
UK drugs field has always been dynamic and flexible. Keeping up with changes
in drug use at street level, and responding to changes in government policy
has always been a critical challenge. The UKHRA annual conference helps
workers keep up to date, and shape the policy agenda.
UKHRA
was established three years ago as a result of our shared perception that
the government was abandoning harm reduction in favour of an approach
that was completely dominated by the criminal justice agenda. Since then,
the revised national strategy ‘Tackling Drugs Together,’ articulates
a commitment to harm reduction issues alongside their crime control agenda,
and so our focus and approach has shifted slightly to reflect this.
Our
conference is the one time of year that we can all get together, both
members and non-members, to discuss the issues that are most pressing
at any given time and to reflect and share our learning. This year, the
focus is on the future of harm reduction and if the programme is any indicator,
I believe that once again, we’ll be staging an important and vibrant
event. I look forward to meeting you there.
Peter McDermott, UKHRA
Chair

There will be a pre-conference evening dinner on Thursday 12 June to introduce
UKHRA directors to members and discuss a variety of issues in relation

day’s conference then takes place on Friday 13 June.

workers, other health and social care professionals, researchers, policy
makers and commissioners.
Workshop sessions
Delegates will be offered an opportunity to examine key harm reduction
issues in depth during workshop sessions. Delegates will be able to attend
one session of their choice. Abstracts of workshop content will be send
to all confirmed delegates to enable an informed choice. Delegates will

that delegates attend their preferred session. Delegates will be notified
of their allocated session upon registration at the event arrival desk.
