IASP Global Year Against Acute Pain
October 2010 - 2011
This year is the Global Year against Acute Pain, announced
by the International Association for the Study of Pain
(IASP) and supported by the British Pain Society.
During this Global Year against Acute Pain we plan
to ensure that:
- the awareness of acute
pain is raised across the Trust;
- education about pain management
is a priority for students in all health professions;
- inpatient pain doctors
and nurses provide more pain education and support
to non-pain specialists in the Trust through teaching
and intranet resources;
- ward nurses and doctors
are proactive in asking about pain and prompt in its
treatment; and
- patients speak up and
expect better
