Call for Applications to showcase your innovative work

Do you have a new practice your organisation has implemented in the last 24 months? Are you eager to share your experiences and lessons learned? Would those who have benefited from your innovation like to share the improvements they’ve experienced?

If your organisation has piloted or implemented a change in service delivery that has positively impacted your service and benefited the people you serve, SDF invites you to present at our 2024 Innovative Practice Showcase.

We have a limited number of slots available for organisations across Scotland. We welcome presentations from harm reduction services, treatment services, and those providing broader support or information services to people who use or have used drugs.
