NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is one of the largest healthcare systems in the United Kingdom, employing approximately 40,000 staff across a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health services to a population of over 1.15 million people, and to a wider population of 2.2 million when regional and national services are included.

The ADP is a strategic body comprised of senior members of partner organisations. This includes representative from Renfrewshire HSPC, Renfrewshire Council, Police Scotland, Scottish Prison Service (SPS), Job Centre Plus, and Third Sector partners.

Renfrewshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) is responsible for the implementation of the National Strategic Frameworks for Alcohol and Drugs. The ADP works in partnership to prevent or reduce the harm caused by alcohol and/or drug misuse and to provide quality treatment and support services which are recovery and outcome focused.

The Strategic Plan sets out our strategic intentions and creates a pathway towards achieving our vision – that Renfrewshire is free from harm caused by alcohol and drug misuse and individuals will have access to quality treatment, care and support to achieve and sustain their recovery. Five national outcomes underpin the Plan and guides all actions the ADP intends to take forward over the next three years.
