Recommendations for nursing practice in
pain management (2002)
Recommendations
for nursing practice in pain management (2002) was
produced by the ‘Nursing focus in pain management working
party’of the former Pain Society chaired by Jane Latham.
This document was created to provide support to nurses who
were either working or aiming to work in the field of pain
management and was framed on the United Kingdom Central Council
(UKCC) higher level practice project.
The white paper Trust, assurance and safety:
the regulation of health professionals was published in Feburary
2007. The white paper sets our a programme of reform to the
United Kingdom’s system, for the regulation of health
professionals. Over the summer of 2007 it became more clear
that the development of the ANP part of the nursing register
will be delayed by the implementation of the new regulatory
framework.
The working party has therefore suggested
to Council that it would not be appropriate to proceed with
the revision of the recommendations until the progress and
framework of the ANP project becomes clearer. The working
party also suggested that the BPS should withdraw the nursing
recommendations document from the Society’s website.
