Funded Activity Summary

People who inject drugs are a vulnerable group who are at increased risk of bacterial infections, which can lead to serious illness and death. This project aims to optimize management of bacterial infections in people who inject drugs. Measuring the current burden of infections, analysing different management strategies employed in hospitals and discussing attitudes and barriers to care with both healthcare workers and people who inject drugs will provide the evidence to optimize ongoing care.
