In this episode of Addictions Edited, you'll find a fascinating conversation between Ben Scher and Emma Day from the International Network on Health and Hepatitis in Substance Users (INHSU). Emma shares her experience as a co-producer for Lisbon Addictions, providing an insider's look into the complexities of organising a conference track that covers crucial topics like hepatitis, HIV, soft tissue infections, and overdose prevention.
The episode delves into how these sessions are crafted to fit the conference's theme, ensuring they offer valuable insights from epidemiological, clinical science, social science, and treatment perspectives. Emma and Ben discuss the rigorous process of selecting abstracts, highlighting the high quality of submissions and the challenge of narrowing them down. They also offer practical advice for first-time attendees of Lisbon Addictions, emphasising the importance of planning your days to avoid feeling overwhelmed by the sheer volume of content.
The episode features two major sessions that Emma is particularly excited about. The first focuses on enhancing access to harm reduction services and includes case studies from Sweden, Spain, Moldova, and Switzerland. These case studies aim to provide practical takeaways on advocacy measures, data utilisation, and policy dialogue. The second session takes a critical look at the science, policy, and politics of Hepatitis C elimination.
Emma's passion for her work and her dedication to improving the health and well-being of people who use drugs shine through in this engaging discussion. If you're interested in the latest research and innovative models of care in the field of addiction, this episode is a must-listen.
