Physio urges prescribers of all disciplines to improve pain assessments

CSP member Paul Cameron, national lead clinician for chronic pain in Scotland, speaking at a national conference on non-medical prescribing for pain, held in London on 10 February, told delegates it was essential for non-medical prescribers to maintain their competence and skills so they could prescribe for pain in an effective way.

To help achieve this he outlined the pros and cons of a variety of pain assessment models, including the World Health Organization’s three-step ‘pain ladder’, which is commonly used as a framework for providing symptomatic pain relief.
