Paid GP Focus Group on Opioid Treatment Program

The Centre for Alcohol and Other Drugs, NSW Ministry of Health, is seeking General Practitioners to participate in paid online focus groups about GP engagement with the Opioid Treatment Program (OTP).

The OPT provides life-saving treatment to people living with opioid dependence.

Your valuable insights can help shape the future of GP engagement with the ODT program and help improve patient access to treatment.
