Many people use needles, lancets, or syringes as part of managing their health. Neighbourhood Pharmacy is part of a needle and syringe program, which helps reduce the spread of blood-borne infections such as Hepatitis C and HIV.
We provide access to sterile needles and syringes in a safe, private, and confidential way. The goal is to make sure people always have access to clean equipment, which helps lower the risk of infection and supports safer use.
We also offer safe ways to dispose of used needles and syringes, along with access to clean injecting equipment. Proper disposal is important to prevent injuries and protect both individuals and the wider community from infection.
