TIP OF THE ICE

TIP OF THE ICE: Understanding, recognising and responding to methamphetamine use in the general practice setting.

Hosted by Sturt Fleurieu Education and Training
Presented by Dr Chris Holmwood

THIS EVENT IS NOW AT CAPACITY - WE ARE TAKING A WAITLIST.

Sturt Fleurieu Education and Training has identified a need for GP education with respect to ICE use. Due to this, we are holding a complimentary workshop for all South Australian GPs and Practice Managers to better understand and how to recognise and respond to methamphetamine patients.

Attendees to this workshop will:

• understand the epidemiology of MA use in South Australia
• understand common types of presentations in the primary care setting
• be able to assess the type of MA use and associated risks
• be able to respond through appropriate Brief Interventions in order to engage the patient
• be able to refer the patient to appropriate services.
