Injecting drugs in Bristol during COVID

Services for people who inject drugs changed rapidly during the COVID-19 pandemic. Essential face-to-face services (pharmacies and some primary and secondary healthcare) continued with social distancing measures, but other support services were provided online or by phone where possible. For example, Bristol Drugs Project (BDP) increased their online and phone outreach work to meet the needs of their clients while also protecting staff and service users.
To understand how the pandemic affected people who inject drugs and to support service delivery and inform policy for future pandemics, we conducted rapid interviews.
