Pharmacotherapy Systems, Mapping Challenges and Best Practice – Webinar 2

Pharmacotherapy systems, mapping challenges and best practice: What We’ve Learned and What It Means for Opioid Treatment

Description:

This webinar provides an overview of emerging findings from recent research that has aimed to build a shared understanding of challenges and priorities in opioid dependence treatment. It brings together insights from clinicians, consumers, and service leaders to highlight barriers to access, workforce and service issues, and areas where further evidence and alignment are needed.

The session is designed to inform and prepare stakeholders for the National Consensus for Action Forum: A Roundtable on Australian Opioid Dependence Treatment in Canberra focused on consensus-building, advocacy, and practical action.

Target Audience

• Clinicians delivering opioid agonist treatment (OAT)
• Clinical directors, service managers, and governance leads
• Researchers and guideline developers engaged in opioid treatment
• Consumers (though specific webinars are planed that are targeted primarily for this audience)

Key Outputs/Outcomes

By the end of the webinar participants will:

• Shared understanding of challenges and priorities from a treatment system perspective
• Greater alignment across clinical and system stakeholders
• Documented points of convergence and uncertainty.

Relationship to the National Consensus for Action Roundtable

This webinar provides evidence informed context, ensuring that by September:

• Major challenges and priorities are already mapped
• Forum participants can focus on consensus statements, advocacy priorities, and action planning
• The research process actively strengthens sector advocacy rather than running parallel to it
