The Alcohol, Tobacco and other Drugs Council of Tasmania is partnering with the Pharmacy Guild of Australia, the Pharmaceutical Society of Australia, the University of Tasmania and the Drug Education Network to deliver a series of information session across regional Tasmania to raise awareness on the risks of accidental pharmaceutical medicine overdoses. Funded through the Alcohol and Drug Foundation, this initiative has been developed in response to the increase in accidental overdoses across Tasmania.
