  • Responsible Opioid Prescribing Practices for Pain Management

    Partner: Health Canada, Chronic Pain Policy Team

    The goal of responsible opiate prescribing is to advance a balanced, evidence-informed approach, that reduces unnecessary exposure to opioid medication and protects lives while supporting those living with pain and ensuring that they do not face access barriers to needed medication. The Best Brains Exchange (BBE) examined the challenges surrounding the implementation of responsible opioid prescribing practices for pain management and potential solutions. The event provided an update on recent trends and emerging national guidance, explored barriers to effective practice change, and identified opportunities for cross sector collaboration to support future action.
