Résumé :
The May-June issue of Druglink is focussed on workforce development. A range of experts look at how working in the drug sector is shaping up, the burning issues that have to be faced and how things can be changed for the better. We also analyse the alphabet soup of legal highs and ask how much of a risk these substances actually pose.
