About

Public Health England awarded a contract to Newcastle University for the delivery of an opioid and new psychoactive substances (NPS) clinical harms surveillance programme.

The programme involved laboratory testing of biological samples from A&E patients across the UK who had been treated for adverse reactions to illicit drugs.

Samples were toxicologically analysed and assessed alongside other intelligence sources to rapidly detect incidents involving synthetic opioids in the heroin or cocaine markets, monitor the emergence of a synthetic opioid market, and identify health harms associated with toxicity from emerging NPS such as synthetic cannabinoids.

Emerging trends and signals of interest were reported to PHE to ensure drug health harms were identified and acted upon promptly.

The contract value was £99,676.
