Navigating Acute Pain Through the Effective Use of Analgesics

Acute pain is a complex physiological response that requires precise assessment and targeted management to ensure optimal patient outcomes. Acute pain management involves an in-depth understanding of pain mechanisms, neurochemical pathways, and the appropriate selection of analgesic therapies. This webinar will provide a structured approach to acute pain management, covering key distinctions between acute and chronic pain, pain assessment methodologies, and evidence-based pharmacological strategies. A detailed exploration of analgesic classes, their mechanisms of action, therapeutic indications, adverse effects, contraindications, and precautions will be discussed. The discussion will also highlight the essential role of pharmacy professionals in pain assessment, medication selection, patient counselling, and ongoing monitoring to enhance treatment efficacy and safety. By integrating scientific principles with clinical best practices, this webinar will aim to strengthen the competency of pharmacy professionals in delivering safe, effective, and patient-centred pain management.
