It is too late to keep trying to convince individual GPs & addiction med docs to prescribe safer drugs. It's not about more training. They don't want to do it, they're scared to do it, and the incrementalism is deadly.
It's time for publically funded drugs to be stocked in pharmacies, clinics, OPS, drug user orgs etc where willing healthcare practitioners can follow assessment, dosing & titration protocols informed by how people *actually* use drugs, not according to withdrawal management.
This is a #PublicHealth approach to a public health emergency which Medical Health Officers should be supporting and implementing immediately. We know this can be done because we just spent 2 years taking a public health approach to another emergency.
