GASpods: Acute Pain (Part 2)

04/28/23 • 24 min

Over the next few weeks on GOSHpods, we will be focussing on topics relating to anaesthesia and pain medicine.

In the second of this 2-part series, I'm joined by Dr Helen Laycock, a consultant in pain medicine and anaesthetics at GOSH, to delve into a little more detail about acute pain management. We discuss optimising pain management at each stage of the surgical patient's journey and the role of the pain team. An important topic for anyone involved in caring for children and young people in hospital!
