The Drugs Research Network for Scotland (DRNS) has moved into Phase III and is now hosted at the University of Edinburgh.

The following priorities were identified:
1 Harms and drug related deaths
2 Treatment and recovery
3 Legal changes
4 Drugs as medicine
We are inviting potential contributors to submit abstracts that fit within the Scottish drugs research priority themes OR on broader perspectives of drug use, including research outside of Scotland.
Please note that we welcome contributions from researchers as well as those within third sector organisations.
