Methods: HCPs completed in-depth semi-structured interviews. Audio recordings were transcribed verbatim with a mean duration of 30 min 55 s. Data were analysed through thematic analysis.

There is a need for policy-making opportunities across different HCSs to ensure better healthcare outcomes for PWUNPS.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Human Psychopharmacology: Clinical and Experimental</journal><volume>38</volume><journalNumber>6</journalNumber><paginationStart/><paginationEnd/><publisher>Wiley</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>0885-6222</issnPrint><issnElectronic>1099-1077</issnElectronic><keywords>Experiences, healthcare professionals, healthcare services, new psychoactive substances, views</keywords><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>11</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2023</publishedYear><publishedDate>2023-11-01</publishedDate><doi>10.1002/hup.2883</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Medical School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>MEDS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>Other</apcterm><funders/><projectreference/><lastEdited>2024-09-17T13:43:26.1882271</lastEdited><Created>2023-09-29T08:33:56.8562506</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Medicine, Health and Life Sciences</level><level id="2">Swansea University Medical School - Pharmacy</level></path><authors><author><firstname>David</firstname><surname>Solomon</surname><orcid>0000-0002-9636-0574</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Jeffrey</firstname><surname>Grierson</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Lauren</firstname><surname>Godier&#x2010;McBard</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Amira</firstname><surname>Guirguis</surname><orcid>0000-0001-8255-0660</orcid><order>4</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>64639__28841__c4b5331dbbae405bb108128f8fef90cd.pdf</filename><originalFilename>64639.VOR.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2023-10-19T17:09:48.0742494</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>907148</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><documentNotes>&#xA9; 2023 The Authors.
