The opioid dependence treatment landscape is changing: What every GP needs to know

In this webinar we explore the new era in opioid dependence treatment and unpack the implications of these transformative changes, highlighting how they democratise access to treatments, including Long-Acting Injectable Buprenorphine (LAIB). While LAIBs play a critical role, they are part of a broader treatment landscape. Our discussion therefore not only focuses on medication options but also underlines the importance of holistic care, encompassing individual, family and community perspectives. This CPD activity will give prescribers the knowledge and tools to navigate these changes, driving improved patient outcomes and challenging long-standing inequities in care.

Join us to enhance your understanding of these shifts and their potential to bring opioid dependence treatment further into the mainstream. Register now to ensure your practice aligns with this paradigm shift.
