Latest addition to the CKI Resource Library: “Acute Procedural Pain: Paediatric Recommendations and Implementation Toolkits”

“The Canadian Association of Paediatric Health Centres (CAPHC) Pain Community of Practice (CoP) represents a group of professionals, informally bound to one another through exposure to a common class of challenges and common pursuit of solutions. We have a focus on nurturing new knowledge, stimulating innovation, sharing knowledge and quality improvement. Possible outputs could include leading practices, guidelines, knowledge repositories, technical problem and solution discussions, working papers, and strategies.   The Pain CoP has chosen acute procedural pain as its first area of focus. Results of a  systematic review and other research has resulted in 6 key acute procedural pain management recommendations.”
