    Hello everyone,

    Thank you for taking part in last night's Virtual Collab Forum session on "Older Adults- Ideal vs. Actual Patient Journey's" with Dr. Lara Nixon and Pharmacist Mareiz Morcos. 

    Last night was an engaging discussion and we felt like this conversation was important to continue. At the end of the session,  participants were asked by the speakers some thought provoking questions that they might bring forward to support a letter of recommendation to the Health Minister. We believe that these questions will help continue efforts to support our health care system on challenging topics like chronic pain and substance use. 

    With that in mind, we'd love to know:

    • What are the system changes needed to address barriers to manage opioid use in older adults?




    We thank all who participated  in our Virtual Collab Forum and we look forward to seeing you in our upcoming events.

    Also, if you have any thoughts or recommendations from last night, please complete the Virtual Collaboration Forum evaluation:
