“Just because you can’t see it,
doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist”
- Patient living with pain
The 2014 Implementing Best Practices in Pain Management conference is the 5th
conference in a series that began in Saskatchewan in 2009. The overall goal of
the conference is to highlight best practices in pain management from both
health professional and client perspectives.
The conference has evolved from its beginnings as a nursing initiative to
become an interprofessional commitment to advancing pain education for
multiple health care disciplines across the continuum of care.
In addition to 6 plenary sessions and a choice of 12 concurrent sessions topics;
this year the conference will include a facilitated discussion session on the
development of a Provincial Pain Strategy for Saskatchewan.
There will also be plenty of opportunities to network, view displays, and connect
with colleagues and friends.
Whatever your role in health care may be, you will find the
5th Implementing Best Practices in Pain Management
conference filled with motivating topics and speakers alike.
See you this fall in Saskatoon!
