2018 heralds many changes that will require a heightened response from the entire health care team to identify, support and refer consumer’s dependant on opioids including codeine for the best treatment outcomes. Pharmacists play an integral role in understanding how these changes will impact on those currently dependent on opioids and how to identify these patients, how to support and educate patients on managing pain and where and how to refer. This session will provide an overview for current opioid replacement therapy pharmacists in Australia to provide context to any potential changes seen, and whether the system will be prone to overload in the current climate. This session aims to empower pharmacists to achieve best patient outcomes through understanding what resources are available, how to utilise these resources to support patients and refer them to appropriate care.
