MORE than 1,600 community pharmacies across Australia are now taking part in the Chronic Pain MedsCheck Trial (PD 06 Sep 2018).
The Trial sees pharmacies work with patients who are taking medication to deal with chronic pain that has been ongoing for three months or longer.
A Chronic Pain MedsCheck sees a pharmacist evaluate and review a patient's medicine and the pain management program they are undertaking to ensure it supports their clinical need.
The Trial is funded under the Sixth Community Pharmacy Agreement, with all participating pharmacists required to complete CPD accredited training modules before conducting trial interventions.
