What do frontline workers need to know about local and international ketamine trends? Catch up on Penington Institute's webinar, featuring expert insights from Professor Robert Ralphs.

Ketamine use is at an all-time high in Australia. Its ubiquitous use at festivals and other settings suggests it has become a drug of choice for many young Australians.

At the same time, growing interest in ketamine’s therapeutic potential for treating mental health conditions has kept this dissociative drug in the media spotlight.

Professor Robert Ralphs has been studying drug use trends in the UK since 1997. His recent research highlights the rise of ketamine use among young people in Greater Manchester, and illustrates how it has shifted from a niche club drug to a substance used by a broad range of young people with diverse motivations. This trend is linked to an increase in presentations for treatment.

In this webinar, Professor Ralphs unpacks the latest UK ketamine trends, explores reasons behind its growing use and discusses what’s needed for an effective whole-systems response.
