Pre-Conference Breakfast Workshop | Building a LAIB service

08:00 - 09:15am | 28 March 2026 | Adelaide Marriott Hotel

Long-acting injectable buprenorphine (LAIB) is recommended for opioid dependence, due to an improved safety profile, simpler regimen and greater convenience and accessibility for patients with pharmacist administration of LAIB. This session will explore how to operate and set up this service, ensuring appropriate links are built with relevant prescribers of opioid treatment. We will also discuss appropriate communication methods with patients who are opioid dependant as well as providing a hands-on practical administration workshop, stepping through any differences between the available products.

Registration from 08:45am.
