Planning on dissolving MDMA in your drink? Be aware of the risks as this has been linked with serious medical incidents across the UK. If you are planning on taking MDMA, consider alternative modes of intake and be aware of signs of drug-related emergency. #GoSlowStayLow

Following 2 deaths in 2 days of Scottish ambulance service staff, it's so important to speak about mental health. We are exposed to so much and feel like we always need to help others, but it's so important to look after ourselves. Any SAS staff needing an invite to page below?

If anybody in Scottish Ambulance needs a safe space to reach out please contact us (Sooze or Kira). We have many years of experience supporting vulnerable individuals. We've got you 🤗📎🕊️
