Health Care Professionals involved in Pain Management
Where do you find information on the association of X with Y in the management of Z ? Preparing for the FFPMANZCA I frequently found myself chasing down obscure pathways to find out answers I needed for particular questions either I or the Faculty of Pain Medicine had come up with. No doubt - the same holds true for any other fellowship concerned with improving the standard of care of doctors involved in the management of chronic pain patients. Both Pain Problems and Pain Management both highlights pages intended primarily for Pain Trainees
Referring GPs will find specific information about:
- How to exactly refer patients to a Pain Specialist in the Rotorua / Taupo Region.
- Conditions which may lead to persistent pain.
- Simple ways to start managing pain appropriately in the primary care setting.
- Facts on potential benefits and complications of commonly used pain medications.
- A summary of Pain-Orientated CME Opportunities in pain medicine within NZ and world-wide.
- A means of directly communicating with Rotorua Pain Specialists and the Pain Management Clinic.
- Links to Institutions and Health Care providers as well as Self-Help groups which may be of help to individual patients, their families and their health care providers.
