Tour an exceptional health service with the people who know it best – health workers and people who inject drugs. An independent Alongside Radio (Australia) production, created with the cooperation of North Richmond Community Health’s Medically Supervised Injecting Room. Recorded on unceded Wurundjeri land, produced on unceded Turrbal/ Yagera land. Since its establishment in 2018, the Medically Supervised Injecting Room (MSIR) trial in North Richmond has succeeded in achieving the trial’s central objective: saving lives. There have been almost 6,000 overdose events in the MSIR during the trial, and none has been fatal. Modelling suggests that during its time in operation the MSIR has prevented up to 63 deaths.
