Doctor in the House: Can We Improve Pain Management?

Dr George Lee returns to discuss the latest medical news. Expect deep insights delivered with generous humour. In the health setting, pain is a poorly understood concept. Many patients experience chronic pain, which has significant physical and psychological impact, but it is often not well recognised or managed by healthcare professionals. Clinical pharmacist and pain educator Joyce McSwan joins Dr George Lee to look at how we can work towards a more integrated approach to pain management.
