Victorian Opioid Management ECHO

The Victorian Opioid
Management ECHO is

opioid education.

We’re a wholly online community-of-practice built on the Project ECHO framework. All Teach, All Learn and Move Knowledge, not people are founding principles of Project ECHO, providing powerful, collaborative learning and teaching experiences across geographical boundaries, ultimately improving patient outcomes and advancing healthcare equity.

Our sessions are hosted by specialists, with content driven by medical and nurse practitioners, specialist nurses, pharmacists, social workers, counsellors and peer workers — we welcome people from the whole spectrum of the alcohol and other drug treatment sector.

Join us.

We will only ever use your personal information for the purposes of running our ECHO program. View our privacy policy
