Name: NPS MedicineWise Update - Opioid prescribing: Strategies for GPs to Optimise Chronic Non-cancer Pain Management and Minimise Harms
Start: 2020-10-15
End: 2020-10-15

Discussion points for this free webinar are based on feedback from over 450 GPs who completed an NPS MedicineWise health professional survey on what they wanted to know about following recent reforms to opioid prescribing.

A panel of top Australian experts who specialise in the areas of chronic pain management and opioid dependence, will join together to discuss three key themes:

Considerations when trialling opioids for chronic non-cancer pain
How to identify patients at increased risk of harm, and strategies for minimising harm
Appropriate strategies and practical ways to support patients during the opioid tapering process

Following the 1-hour presentation and discussion, panel members will be available for a further 30-minute live Q&A session with webinar participants.

Accreditation: RACGP and ACRRM approval pending
