Te Pou offices are open under the Covid red settings, but visitors are by appointment only and must show a vaccine passport.
Opioid use disorders require treatment and care much like any other chronic (long-term) health problem. Opioid substitution treatment (OST) is an evidence-based option for people using opioids problematically.
Te Pou aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of primary and secondary care providers involved in OST provision and support the understanding of OST treatment for people accessing OST and their whānau.
The purpose of this learning programme is to promote a national standard for effective and responsive opioid substitution treatment service delivery and to enhance the skills and attitudes of the workforces involved in OST provision (i.e. in the specialist service, the prison setting, the primary health care/general practice setting and community pharmacy).
This e-learning module, Training Programme for the Opioid Substitution Treatment Workforce, was developed by the National Association of Opioid Treatment Providers (NAOTP) and is designed to be used in conjunction with the New Zealand Practice Guidelines for Opioid Substitution Treatment (Ministry of Health 2014a) and seminars delivered by NAOTP.
