Contact usAt the Health Innovation Network (HIN) we developed a local programme across south London in response to the nationally commissioned Medicines Safety Improvement programme (MedSIP). The ambition for 2022/23 was for Patient Safety Collaboratives (PSCs) working with a minimum of 15 ICS, will collectively achieve the following outcomes among adults living with chronic (non-cancer) pain by the end of March 2023:
“All too often the complexity of having chronic pain and of helping people and professionals to manage pain are overlooked. High prescriptions of opioids can be a result. I’m delighted that this work has looked at how to manage pain as well as reducing harm from opioids.” Natasha Curran, Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine at UCL Hospitals and Medical Director of the Health Innovation Network.
We delivered a CPD-accredited Opioid Stewardship Quality Improvement Collaborative for clinicians across south London from October 2022 to March 2023. Please click here to find out more.
We shared local opioid prescribing data packs with GP practices across south London based on the Campaign to Reduce Opioid Prescribing . Please click here to find out more.
We facilitated an experience-based co-design (EBCD) project using the Point of Care Foundation methodology. The aim of the EBCD project was to improve chronic pain management by bringing patients and staff lived and learnt experiences together to prioritise and co-design solutions as equal partners.
