Northern Ireland (NSES) Needle and Syringe Exchange Service scheme and providers

The Needle and Syringe Exchange Service is a free, confidential service available for individuals who inject drugs. Our service aims to help reduce the spread of bloodborne viruses by offering free, sterile injecting equipment and by safely disposing of used items.

This program is designed to ensure the health and safety of the community. You can find details on how the service works, along with contact information for participating pharmacies and local outreach teams, in the updated leaflet.
