Practice notes

These notes are principally written for drug services giving out water as part of a needle exchange services because the sharing of water, vials or ampoules for drug preparation may be a cause of hepatitis C infections.

It is important to reinforce the supply of water amps with the clear message that the reason it's being given out is to reduce the risk of bacterial – and possibly viral – infection.

The ampoules are for single use, and any remaining water should be thrown away.

The blue dot!
It is also important for all clients to be shown how to use the amp snapper, preferably with a practical demonstration in the needle exchange, using an ampoule.
