Pharmacy pain award

June 18, 2012

PHARMACIST Joyce McSwan has been awarded the 2012 PSA Award for QUM in Pain Management. McSwan is the Mackay representative for the Australian Pain Management Association and in January this year started the Mackay Pain Support Group. “Through the Mackay Pain Support Group and ongoing MMRs she has provided therapeutic education to motivate changes in behaviour and acceptance of updated treatment strategies,” said PSA National President Grant Kardachi. “Outcomes have been measured in a reduction in medicine use, improved pain management on assessment, monitoring of adverse effects with early reporting and early intervention and ultimately a better quality of life for the patient,” he added.
