Clinical Case Webinar: Patient transfers between opioid agonist treatment pharmacotherapies

Do you prescribe opioid treatment pharmacotherapies to your pateients? Join us for our next OTAC clinical case webinar, where we disucss patient transfers between different opioid treatment pharmacotherapies.

This upcoming webinar will discuss what clinicians should consider when transferring a patient between methadone, sublingual buprenorphine or depot buprenorphine pharmacotherapies. Within the discussion we will reflect upon clinical considerations that may impact on medication choice, including common pitfalls, patient preference, and patients who may be pregnant.

This session will be convened by Dr Sharon Reid (Medical Officer) and Dr Joshua Watt (GP Specialist & Addiction Medicine Advanced Trainee), both based at SLHD Drug Health Services.
