The Victorian Opioid Management ECHO is a weekly online meeting (Wednesday mornings, 7:30am-8:30am) facilitated by the Addiction Medicine team at St Vincent’s hospital.
This meeting focuses on aspects of opioid management in Primary Care, which include:
- Dependence on prescription and/or illicit opioids
- Chronic pain and opioid dependence
- Medication-Assisted Treatment of Opioid Dependence (methadone, buprenorphine)
- Management of overdose risk
- Regulations related to opioid prescribing
- Dual diagnosis
- Trauma-informed care
Each 1-hour meeting consists of a 30 minute didactic followed by discussion of participant-submitted case studies.
These meetings are recognised by RACGP and ACCRM as a Peer Group Learning activity, and clinicians who attended all FIVE meetings in a block session will be eligible for FIVE Reviewing Performance hours (see the
Victorian Opioid Management ECHO for further details)
If this is something you think might interest you, we’d love to see you there! You can register at the Victorian Opioid Management ECHO website, after which you will be contacted with the link to the Zoom meeting.
