Conference on Prescription Drug Abuse The New Hampshire State Police, the New Hampshire Medical Society, the NH Dept. of Health & Human Services' Division of Drug and Alcohol Prevention and Recovery, the NH Board of Pharmacy, and the NH Board of Registration in Medicine are co-sponsoring a half-day interdisciplinary educational conference on the growing problem of prescription drug abuse. The conference will be held Thursday, Nov. 13 from 1-5:30 p.m. in Howard Rec Auditorium at the State Office Park South, 99 Pleasant Street in Concord. The conference will offer a rare opportunity for healthcare providers, law enforcement personnel, counselors, pharmacists, attorneys, regulators, legislators and others interested in the problems of prescription drug abuse to come together to learn each others' perspectives and to begin working towards solutions. Presenters will include representatives from the pain treatment, legal, regulatory, pharmacy, law enforcement, and healthcare consumer communities. There will be ample time for discussion. Attorneys involved in prescription drug abuse cases may find particular value in discussing relevant issues with diverse professionals in a neutral context outside the adversarial roles often assumed in the course of litigation. The registration fee is $35. Refreshments will be available. A detailed program, directions to the auditorium, and a printable registration form are posted at www.nhms.org, the Web site of the New Hampshire Medical Society.
