On 6th April, we welcomed Anne Bentley who is one of our PrescQIPP Award winners for the project on Whole System Improvement in Opioid Safety using Opioid Reduction Pathway.
Anne is from East Lancashire CCG, covering one of the most deprived counties in the country with high rates of opioid prescriptions for non-cancer pain (oxycodone and fentanyl).
The CCG, NHS East Lancashire Chronic Pain Team along with the Local Authority and Substance Misuse Service took a collaborative approach to design new pathways for chronic pain and managed opioid reduction.
The webinar discussed in detail how the pathway empowered clinicians and patients to significantly reduce opioid burden and improve patient safety.
The presentation was followed by a Q & A session.
