International Overdose Awareness Day: Collaborative Care Panel
St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney will mark International Overdose Awareness Day 2026 with a multidisciplinary panel bringing together perspectives from addiction medicine, pharmacy, suicide prevention, family support and lived and living experience.
The panel will explore overdose awareness and prevention, naloxone, stigma and compassionate care, the experiences of people who use drugs and support for families and loved ones. It will also consider practical ways healthcare workers can contribute to reducing overdose-related harm and deaths.
In the spirit of International Overdose Awareness Day, this event is a time to remember those whose lives have been lost or affected by overdose and a time to act to help prevent future deaths.
This is an internal education event for St Vincent’s Hospital staff only and is not open to the general public.
