About this webinar
The Association of Anaesthetists, in collaboration with the British Pain Society, has released new guidelines that make recommendations for the entire peri-operative period, and post-discharge phases of care. This guidance provides generic principles for peri-operative pain management that clinicians should consider including assessing pain to facilitate function; use of multimodal analgesia, including regional anaesthesia; non-pharmacological strategies; safe use of opioids; and use of protocols and training for staff in caring for patients with postoperative pain. This new publication builds on the previously published international consensus guidance on opioids. This webinar will explore related themes from the Guideline, with a range of expert speakers.
