During the 2010 Improving Outcomes meeting, we will be hosting a case study clinic, in which experts will discuss and dispense their wisdom on a range of complex cases provided by you, the audience. Delegates are invited to share their cases with the audience and then the panel will discuss: 

• The best treatment approach for the patient
• What would have been the most appropriate treatment and how should it have been introduced?
• How could the treatment problems be minimised or avoided in the future?

Cases of particular interest include:

• Patients with high levels of dependency involving high doses of heroin
• Patients maintained on very high doses of methadone requiring transfer
• Patients with a long history of opioid-dependency
• More problematic cases including patients with psychiatric comorbidities and those with dual-dependency
• Patients with HIV/AIDS on ARVT
• Patients with significant concurrent liver and/or renal disease.
