Description

In Austria, narcotics and psychotropic substances are classified as controlled substances, and their handling (including acquisition, possession, production, procurement, transfer, and the cultivation of certain plants) is only permitted to a limited extent. This raises questions in the health and social sectors, such as: Are controlled substances allowed to be administered by professionals in social and healthcare occupations? Who is permitted to use controlled substances, and for what purposes? When is the handling of controlled substances prohibited and punishable by law? To ensure you are aware of the relevant legal boundaries between lawfulness and criminal liability, this webinar will provide you with key facts, examples from current case law, and practical guidance for everyday application. This training is conducted as distance learning. You will participate in this interactive webinar in a virtual classroom on our webinar platform ZOOM. The maximum number of participants is limited to 12.
