Note de contenu :
This document is in two parts. The first part contains three chapters:
• Chapter 1 sets out the background and context for developing IEP guidelines for Scotland.
• Chapter 2 describes the process of developing these guidelines, discusses the nature of evidence available and how that evidence has been used in drafting the guidelines.
• Chapter 3 describes and discusses the strengths and limitations of different IEP service models.
The second part of the document contains the guidelines themselves, which have been grouped into five sections:
• Section 1: Developing an IEP programme – makes recommendations related to the process of developing and reviewing local IEP services.
• Section 2: Increasing the distribution of injecting equipment – focuses on increasing the quantity of injecting equipment (both sterile needles and other injecting paraphernalia) that IEP services give out.
• Section 3: Improving the effectiveness and consistency of IEP services – makes recommendations aimed at improving the quality of IEP services, particularly in relation to the way service providers interact with their clients.
• Section 4: Integrating IEP services with other services – aims to promote more integrated care for injecting drug users, particularly for those who are infected with HCV.
• Section 5: Health and safety of staff, clients and the community – makes recommendations which aim to protect the health and safety of staff and to promote safe disposal of used injecting equipment.

Résumé :
These guidelines aim to provide a consistent framework which can be used across Scotland to support the delivery of IEP services. The objectives of the guidelines are:
1. To promote good practice in relation to the planning and development of IEP services
2. To improve the accessibility of sterile needles, syringes and other injecting equipment to injecting drug users who are at risk of acquiring HCV and other BBVs
3. To improve the quality and consistency of IEP services
4. To promote integration between IEP services and other services for injecting drug users, including primary, secondary and social care services
5. To ensure that local areas are taking active steps to protect the health and safety of IEP service staff and clients, and the community in relation to the disposal of used injecting equipment.
