Chemsex Clinical Toolkit : 10 ready-to-use harm-reduction sheets
In the consultation, chemsex situations rarely leave time to open a full case file. You often have five to seven minutes to make contact, assess the main risks, offer a useful pointer, and keep the connection.The Chemsex Clinical Toolkit is built for those moments: ten short clinical sheets, each fitting on a single A4 page, to keep in front of you when the subject comes up. Each sheet gives a clear aim, three to seven concrete questions or steps, phrasings you can offer in the room, and red flags.This is less about "treating chemsex" in one session than about not being caught off guard when substance use, sexuality and trauma intertwine. It is not a protocol or an official guideline: these are frontline tools, grounded in harm reduction and a non-judgemental stance.The 10 sheets GHB triage: "deep sleep" and possible emergencies Stimulant overamping: recognise and act Chemsex craving VAS: the worst score decides Safety plan when VAS ≥ 7: don't "wing it" Consent under substances: scripts and safeguards When to call emergency services?
