As the experts in pain management, National Pain Awareness Week is an awareness week that we deeply understand and appreciate. We know from our frontline experience that chronic pain is a growing challenge however, it’s one that our profession is dedicated to tackling.

It’s one of the reasons why we launched this website. Inadequately managed surgical pain can lead to chronic post-surgical pain, one of the most common complications following surgery. Curious about the numbers? Check out this 2022 paper, “Chronic post-surgical pain – update on incidence, risk factors and preventive treatment options,” published in the BJA Education.

Then explore and share SolvingPain and the Perioperative Pain Management Pathway with any of your colleagues involved in perioperative pain management. By better controlling surgical pain, we can reduce the risk of chronic pain and other related health challenges, and have healthier, happier patients.
