Pat Tyrie

Biography

I am a retired NHS Administrative Manager currently with full time care of my grandson. I sat on the Dundee Drugs Commission in 2018 as a family member with lived experience and following this I joined the project looking at the Youth in Iceland Model for possible adoption in Dundee and further. I am keen to promote reducing the risk for young people in the use of substances, and keen to see further understanding amongst policy makers and the wider public on the effect of addiction on children’s development and the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs).
