Leading the discussion will be Prof Paul Haber, Head of Specialty of Addiction Medicine, University of Sydney & Clinical Director of Sydney Local Health District Drug Health Services. Participants are encouraged to either submit their own cases or to discuss presented cases on the evening.

The webinars will be recorded and be made available on the OTAC website (www.otac.org.au) alongside relevant resources related to the topic. Whilst primarily aimed towards prescribers of OAT, we welcome other health professionals, including those in nursing and pharmacy, to join us in the conversation.
