Maree Todd: “To quote Burns, if only we could see ourselves as others see us.”

My heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who has lost a loved one to drug use.

Responsibility for professional development sits with individual healthcare professionals, employers, Public Service Delivery (PSD) Scotland, the royal colleges and other professional bodies.

Each and every death is a tragedy, and even more so because every life lost to drug harms is preventable.

We have taken action to support women and health professionals to learn more about menstrual health issues such as endometriosis, the symptoms and treatment options but we know there is still a long way to go.
