The implementation of real-time prescription monitoring in Queensland is imminent. Access to prescription monitoring may mean health professionals have access to new information which highlights opioid-related risks. This webinar will provide tools for assessing risk and tips for pharmacists for discussing opioid-related clinical issues with patients.
