NUAA Peers and Consumers Forum 2024

The NUAA Peers and Consumers Forum returns in 2024 for its 6th annual event. The PaC Forum is a chance for all peoples with lived and living experience of drug use to come together, share stories and learn from each other.

This year we want to focus in on how wonderfully diverse our community is with the theme Merging Worlds: Intersections of Identity and Experience. Our uniqueness is a strength. By understanding and celebrating our differences we can build a future that furthers the health, dignity and human rights of all.

PaC Forum 2024 features:

1.  Peer-led Panels and Discussions: Hear from experts, story tellers, and change makers about current AOD issues. With two days of concurrent sessions you can be certain to find a presentation suited to your interests.
2. Service Showcase: Visit the exhibition floor to learn more about the services provided by NUAA, forum sponsors and partner organisations.
3. Onsite NSP: NUAA NSP team members will be on hand to provide harm reduction advice, and NSP equipment. Our HVC specialists will also be offering state-of-the-art rapid Hep C testing and treatment referral pathways.
4. Harm Reduction Up Close: Watch as experts demystify harm reduction though easy to follow live demonstrations covering topics from reagent kits to basic wound care.
5. Photobooth and Art Gallery: Stop by the pop-up Boomgate Gallery exhibiting artwork from people in custody or snap a selfie in the always popular PaC Forum photobooth.
