Opioid prescribing – TGA changes, the PBS and the Law
On-demand webinar
The Australian Government is currently implementing a suite of regulatory changes regarding pharmaceutical opioids in an effort to reduce the harm caused by these medicines in the community while ensuring safe access for patients who need them. In addition, changes to the PBS came into effect from 1 June 2020 to support the intent of the underlying regulatory changes. In this webinar we will equip you with the tools and resources to support the safe implementation of any changes in your practice to reflect the new circumstances.
You will receive expert advice from Dr Grant Pegg from the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), who will discuss the federal regulatory changes, and Sophia Palmer, Assistant Secretary of the Pharmacovigilance and Special Access Branch of the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) who will provide an overview of the PBS changes.
