Acute Pain Clinic - Nurse Led

Public Service

The management principles of this service are:

Continuity of care within the case management model of the nurse specialists within ADHB
To provide a analgesic medication review for patients who have been under the care of the APS as inpatients
To lower the risk of presentation to the Emergency Department and readmission for pain management alone, in patients recently discharged from hospital
To provide education about pain and its management
To provide telephone support for patients and health providers
To provide education on evidence–based, holistic lifestyle measures, in order to assist in the management of pain
To refer on to the Auckland Regional Pain Service (TARPS), physio or further MDT support if more comprehensive assessment is required and appropriate.
