If you think you or a friend may have been spiked:

Tell the bar manager, security, or a member of staff

If not requiring urgent medical attention, ask for a NNUH anti-spiking kit at bar/club, or SOS bus

Call an ambulance if their condition deteriorates

Stay with them and keep talking to them

Remember spiking is a crime – you may want to involve the Police

Don’t let them go home on their own

Don’t let them leave with someone you don’t know or trust

Don’t let them drink more alcohol - this could lead to more serious problems

In an emergency always dial 999. If you are unsure, dial NHS 111
