On-line via Webex 12:30 - 14:00About the event
This interactive session is the first of a new quarterly series about medication safety aimed at healthcare professionals, working in any sector with a role or passion for medication safety and/or involved in opioid management.
Our speakers will share innovative practices that have the potential to be translated and replicated.
Why it’s important
Opioids have the potential to do more harm than good when used for chronic non-cancer pain that has no treatable cause, particularly when used at higher doses. This session will equip healthcare professionals with insights, support, and shared learning, to tackle practice with opioids that may lead to harm.
What will be covered/what you’ll learn
- A discussion of key issues that impact safe opioid use within the system and on-going opioid safety programmes that align to the national strategy for patent safety.
- Learn how embedding a ‘personalised care approach‘ within your practice can lead to safer opioid use
- ‘Lived experience’ shared to understand the impact opioid safety initiatives can have that will inspire to take action.
- Shared exemplar practices related to opioid safety, which will allow for reflection on local practice and consideration for implementation at a local and system level.
Learning outcomes:
- Articulate key current issues around opioid safety
- Use the information shared regarding opioid safety to assess local working practices at both an organisational level and across the system
- Reflect on the examples shared and identify actions or responses to recommend locally, in order to improve safe practice
- Take opportunities to network with peers to inform the development of appropriate local and system wide responses to opioid safety concerns
