In November of 2023, the BCCSU released the updated provincial guideline for the treatment of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). The guideline has been updated to align with new evidence and clinical practice changes and to meet the evolving challenges that resulted from unregulated fentanyl and other toxic substances, such as high opioid tolerance.
Join Mona Kwong as she discusses updates to the provincial guideline for the clinical management of OUD, including updated clinical recommendations on dosing, titration and missed doses, new protocols for take-home dosing and policy guide changes.
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe the updated key recommendations in A Guideline for the Clinical Management of Opioid Use Disorder
- Apply recommended principles of care when treating opioid use disorder
