Primary Health Tasmania has commissioned Aspex Consulting to undertake a project to build an evidence base and gain comprehensive understanding of the current Tasmanian context related to barriers and enablers for GPs to identify, treat and manage alcohol and drug misuse.
You are invited to join the consultation program designed to gain in-depth understanding of the factors that GPs consider important in supporting patients with AOD issues.
Your insights and experiences are invaluable in shaping effective strategies and interventions to better support GPs and improve patient outcomes in Tasmania.
As part of this project we also invite GPs to complete this 5-minute survey.
Please join us in this important initiative. Participants will be reimbursed for their time.
