Through the assessment of their submission, the provider meets each of the key criteria listed as part of the PSR process. Stand out points include: 1. Quality / innovation - the service is one of a kind nationally, providing expert support to those in need of the service and an opportunity to develop networks on completion of the counselling. The service also provides a learning opportunity for reducing future overdoses. 2. Value - due to the model of provision, the return on investment ratio for the service is high for this service; the cost to run is minimal yet is available to the entire adult population of Surrey who require this level of support. 3. Integration, collaboration and service sustainability - the virtual groupwork opportunity provides those impacted by a drug-related death with ongoing support from others with similar experiences. 4. Improving access, reducing health inequalities and facilitating choice - the service offers easy access to those requiring their support (vitual), including offering pre-arranged sessions out of hours and at weekends to suit the need of the service users. 5. Social value - the service uses local counsellors and the virtual / online approach reduces impact on the environment.
