This webinar provides a practical, evidence-based refresher for GPs on screening, diagnosing, and managing alcohol use disorder in routine general practice, particularly during the New Year period when patient motivation for change is high. Participants will gain clear, time-efficient approaches to brief intervention, pharmacotherapy, withdrawal management, and referral pathways aligned with current Australian guidelines.
In this practical, back-to-basics webinar, Dr Chris Davis and Dr Bronwyn Hudson, both GPs and Addiction Medicine Specialists, provide a concise, evidence-based update tailored to busy general practice. The session focuses on time-efficient screening, accurate diagnosis, brief interventions, pharmacotherapy, and clear referral pathways that can be implemented immediately in routine consultations.
Aligned with RACGP guidance, NHMRC Australian Alcohol Guidelines, and contemporary addiction medicine evidence, this session equips GP registrars and practising GPs with the confidence and clinical tools to manage AUD effectively in primary care.
