About the NNEF
The National Needle Exchange Forum (NNEF) is a group of needle exchange workers from England and Wales that exists to actively promote and support the provision of high quality, comprehensive needle exchange services as a key part of the United Kingdom drugs strategy.
The forum meets between 2 and 4 times a year, alternating meeting venues between London and the North of England. Meetings are free and include presentations from invited speakers, updates from delegates and discussion.

|

and delivery of needle exchange services. |

in order to ensure that the philosophy of harm reduction remains
central to public health policy in the United Kingdom. |
