These workshops aim to educate and empower pharmacists to become ‘pain champions’ in their community, and use their expertise in chronic pain management to help their patients achieve better health outcomes.
These additional workshops were scheduled to accommodate those who were not able to join the sold-out sessions in Vancouver and Nanaimo that took place last fall. Over 130 community pharmacists participated in the first round of workshops that were held across the province.
The 8-hour accredited module will be supplemented with one-on-one mentoring on clinical pain consultations, and has been approved for CCCEP accreditation for 9.0 credits. The cost of the workshop is $250.
Participant feedback:
- “The entire exercise made me think of pain management in a different light. This can definitely be implemented in our clinical services.”
- “There is a great demand for these services and this training. The stepwise approach and the quick forms make it easy to provide our perspective to patients, and hopefully make a difference in their outcomes and long term positive results.”
- “The process has provided me with an avenue for additional follow-ups and has helped me provide a service of compassion and understanding that I believe should be an integral part of good pharmaceutical practice.”
The workshops will be held on two consecutive Saturdays, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
