"Thinking outside the box"

Today had got me thinking more along the lines of my own age group.  Although patients can suffer from an illness at any age, I wanted to think outside the box on what to create a leaflet on.  Thinking about how much us students love the nightlife, there are times when you would notice paramedics and ambulances outside nightclubs around the town - there for individuals who have maybe drank to much, their drinks have been spiked, or for individuals who have been taking drugs and have overdosed!

I have been up around the town today and took the opportunity to call into bars and ask if they have any leaflets, coasters, posters or information on what to do if you were to find someone lying maybe overdosed or an individual who has had their drink spiked.  it had SHOCKED me that there was no information anywhere and that this can be an ongoing problem out at night!!
