Managing alcohol and other drug presentations in primary care

As a healthcare provider are you well-placed to assess and manage patients misusing alcohol and other drugs?

Enhance your knowledge to better manage patients within your own practice. Join us to learn more about the tools available and the skills required to undertake effective Alcohol and other Drug assessments, to identify appropriate treatment options and pathways.  Recently developed HealthPathways will be showcased with a discussion on how they can be utilised in your practice and how they can support the implementation of SafeScript, Victoria’s real-time prescription monitoring system.
