The NSW Opioid Treatment Program (OTP) seeks to reduce the social, economic and health harms associated with opioid use. The OTP delivers pharmacotherapy and associated services to opioid dependent patients in NSW.
As a General Practitioner, you have a unique and important role to play in providing holistic care for people in the community, this can include providing Opioid Dependance Treatment (ODT) for patients when needed. Prescribing ODT can be a very rewarding experience for GPs as you get to see dramatic health gains and improvements in wellbeing for patients.
NSW Health are prioritising moving patients stable on their treatment to primary care prescribers so that public clinics can provide more specialised support for those that need it.
If you are interested in prescribing opioid dependance medications you can complete this online registration form and a NSW Health representative will get in contact with you to provide you with further information. There is no obligation and you can opt out at any time
