Managing pain is a daily challenge for many people in British Columbia. We want to hear about your experiences taking opioids for pain management as we begin work to:
– Determine what kind of information and support is necessary to have safe and effective use of opioids for pain management
– Review the resources available to clinicians and patients, and
– Analyze prescribing practices across the province.
Our Advisory Group will identify what’s working well, where there may be gaps, and what concerns exist. These insights will help guide evidence-based improvements in how opioids are prescribed for pain management.
Please e-mail Kate McCammon to express interest in this posting, calling the phone number listed may lead to a delayed response.
