SUMMARY:Helping patients with opioid dependence thrive | Online
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by N of One Solutions \nJoin us for this CPD-Accredited webinar focused on supporting patients with opioid dependence through practical approaches in primary care. \nMedication-assisted treatment for opioid dependence (MATOD) has been found to improve retention in treatment and reduce illicit opioid use\, but it is common for patients to relapse multiple times before achieving sustained recovery. This interactive webinar presents considerations and tools to help GPs support recovery at key stages of treatment. \nHelping patients to thrive and achieve a better quality of life can help establish the recovery capital needed to prevent relapse and contribute to lower rates of overdose and improve overall health. \nTarget audience: GPs \nClick here for more information and to register

SUMMARY:Hepatitis B in primary care | Online
