IOTOD 2020

The 18th annual ‘Improving Outcomes in the Treatment of Opioid Dependence’ (IOTOD) meeting took place as a virtual event on the 24–25 September 2020.

The 2020 IOTOD Scientific Committee led an engaging two-day meeting, featuring international field experts speaking on multiple and emerging topics, such as: opioid analgesic dependence (OAD) and chronic pain; opioid substitution therapy adherence and the real significance; destigmatising drug use in key populations; the experience so far with long-acting buprenorphine formulations (and their use during COVID-19); different stakeholder perspectives surrounding drug use; and best approaches to address HCV/HBV in PWIDs. The webcasts from this conference will be available to view on the IOTOD 2021 conference platform once you have registered for the event.
