Grampian Drug-Related Death Monitoring Group (GDRDMG)

The aim of the group is to foster efforts to reduce Drug-Related Deaths in Grampian.

It does this by

clarifying the local definition of drug-related deaths and how this compares to the definition used nationally.
monitoring trends in Grampian in drug-related deaths, including selected risk factors.
facilitating the review of drug-related deaths where the person was known to services.
informing strategic and operational work on the part of Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray, Alcohol and Drug Partnerships in preventing such deaths (e.g. through audit or participation in service reviews).
It will also keep in mind exploratory work on alcohol-related deaths, consistent with national work.
