Opioid analgesics are high-risk medicines, widely used in hospitals and primary care to manage pain. In April 2020, the TGA engaged the Commission to develop a framework for a National Opioid Analgesic Stewardship program, and an accompanying clinical care standard, which together support the opioid analgesic regulatory changes. The aim of the TGA regulatory changes, the National Opioid Analgesics Stewardship program and the accompanying clinical care standard is to minimise the risk of harm associated with opioid analgesic use.
The lightning talks at NMS 2023 will showcase opioid stewardship in Australia including the Commissions work on opioid analgesic stewardship and research and findings related to the safe and appropriate use of post-surgical opioids, reducing unwarranted variation in opioid dispensing/prescribing, opioid deprescribing guidelines, and how quality use of opioids can contribute to sustainability and reduce carbon footprint of medicines and healthcare.
The lightning talks are relevant for health policy and decision makers, health professionals, academics, and researchers.
