SUMMARY:Management of Chronic Pain and Deprescribing for GPs & AHPs
DESCRIPTION:Introduction\nNICE guidance on the management of chronic pain and on deprescribing drugs of dependency have brought the issues of both pain and prescription painkiller dependency to the fore. The PCN prescribing incentive scheme also makes it clear that the expectation is that the vast majority of these drugs are tapered off where appropriate. \nThis session is designed for GPs\, AHPs\, and prescribers\, focusing on the practical ‘how to’ of supporting patients with chronic pain management and safe deprescribing (recognising that these conversations are often challenging). \nAims\nTo support clinicians in addressing the challenges of managing chronic pain while safely reducing long-term reliance on prescription painkillers. \nObjectives\n\nUnderstand the scale of the problem and the potential adverse effects of long term opioid therapy.\nLearn tips to help improve your practice systems (including system template guidance)\nUnderstand how to move your patients way from medical dependency to a more self reliant method\n\nContent\n\nThe Scale of the Problem\nAdverse Effects of Long-Term Opioid Therapy\nManagement of Chronic Pain\nGuidance on Deprescribing\nSupport Systems & Resources\nPractical Considerations\nCase Studies\n\nPrevious Delegate Feedback\n“The resources were excellent. I now feel I can enter these conversations armed with something useful for the patient to take home afterwards and start the next bit of the conversation and process”
