Arrow pain program push
March 17, 2016
ARROW Pharmaceuticals will
deliver new CPD-accredited
PainWISE Foundations events to
pharmacists this year, with the one day
seminar content - previously
hosted by Aspen before it sold
its generics business to Arrow -
refreshed to cater for the needs of
pharmacy.
As well as providing evidence based
alternative solutions to OTC
codeine supply, the program will
include training for participants
in the counselling technique of
motivational interviewing.
Clinical psychologist Dr Peta Swan
will join PainWISE facilitator and
clinical pharmacist Joyce McSwan,
who said pharmacists are ideally
placed to become the ‘choice
experts’ in pain management.
Motivational interviewing can
be used to empower the patient
to take appropriate steps in
overcoming their persistent pain,
she added, with the Better Pain
Management seminars covering the
latest clinical knowledge.
PainWISE will return nationally
in Apr and May, as part of Arrow’s
commitment to help customers
increase loyalty and engagement
through innovative business
solutions, including the provision
of pharmacist-led professional
services.
