NPS pain resources
July 24, 2015
As PART of National Pain
Week, NPS MedicineWise is
releasing resources developed
for Australians living with chronic
pain, encouraging them to
have conversations about their
experiences and concerns with
a range of health providers and
others who can provide support.
A Chronic Pain Communication
Tool, free online, helps sufferers
identify issues they would like
to discuss with their healthcare
professional, family or friends.
The My Pain Diary can be used
to record levels and nature of pain
episodes, how they affect daily
activities, and the way medicines
may be affecting their pain.
The Chronic pain knowledge
hub, accessible through the NPS
MedicineWise website, provides
clearly written information covering
topics from what chronic pain is
and why each person’s experience
is unique, to the many different
strategies that can help manage
pain and improve function.
