The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) in the United Kingdom (UK) uses a definition which incorporates both international and UK drug legislation: “Psychoactive drugs which are not prohibited by the United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs or by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, and which people in the UK are seeking for intoxicant use”. The European Council’s definition places an emphasis on the threats posed by NPS and describes such a substance as “a new narcotic or psychotropic drug, in pure form or in preparation, that is not controlled by the United Nations drug conventions, but which may pose a public health threat comparable to that posed by substances listed in these conventions”. The United Nations (UN) stated that NPS are “substances of abuse, either in a pure form or a preparation, that are not controlled by the 1961 Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs or the 1971 Convention on Psychotropic Substances, but which may pose a public health threat”. Numerous definitions of novel psychoactive substances (NPS) are currently used, most of which highlight their negative impact upon public health. Continued education of HCPs on NPS is fundamental for the provision of improved harm reduction services, which can enhance overall care for NPS service users. Conclusions: An improvement within the self-reported knowledge of HCPs on NPS is evident in comparison to previous studies. Most participants expressed a need for regular training and updates as insufficient NPS-related information is currently received. A negative association was found between the age of the HCP and knowledge of NPS. Substance misuse service staff felt more informed, were more often consulted and had greater confidence regarding NPS compared to hospital and primary care professionals. Results: Most HCPs reported only ‘basic’ to ‘intermediate’ NPS knowledge. Statistical analysis of data was undertaken using SPSS (V.25). Evaluation forms were handed out post-sessions to garner feedback, especially on areas for improvement for future sessions. Knowledge of NPS by HCPs was evaluated prior to the start of the educational events. Two educational sessions involving pharmacists and GPs were also held in late 2017 and mid-2018.

Additionally, 127 online surveys were completed using the Qualtrics platform by other HCPs and mental health nurses in six United Kingdom (UK) independent mental health hospitals long-stay in-patient rehabilitation services. Methods: Seventy paper questionnaires were disseminated in 2017 within continuing education events to pharmacists, nurses and general practitioners (GPs). The study also aimed to assess how HCPs would like to improve their knowledge of NPS.
