NSW Pain Management Report - Report of the NSW Pain Management Taskforce
Summary
The NSW Pain Management Taskforce Report outlines the Taskforce’s recommendations to develop and support a state-wide system of pain management services by focussing on integrating multidisciplinary care across primary, secondary and tertiary services; education, training and workforce development for health professionals in all disciplines; research and evaluation; community-wide strategies to reduce the stigma of chronic pain; and better access to early intervention. The Report will help drive a cohesive, consistent, state-wide approach to pain management and identifies areas for potential future development.
