Abstract:
Evidence shows that multimodal rehabilitation has positive outcomes for persons with chronic pain, which requires collaborative teamwork. This is typically seen in pain clinics in tertiary settings, where pharmacist, doctor, therapists, psychologists and others, work together with the clients towards common goals, using similar terminology. However, many clients with chronic pain cannot access these specialist pain clinics but will look for community level solutions. While primary health care is increasingly offering multidisciplinary services, it is unclear whether they are moving towards a collaborative approach for chronic pain or continue to work in professional silos.
This workshop will raise the challenges and potential solutions for efficient service delivery using a collaborative team approach. Speakers from Hong Kong and overseas will share their practice focusing on the management elements. In addition, participants and speakers will debate a case scenario developed from client experiences, aiming to highlight our personal awareness of the significance of enhancing service delivery.
