French pain patient associations and health professionals recall the urgency of new concrete measures
In an open letter, published in le Monde, to the next President of the French Republic, patient associations and health professionals recall the urgency of new concrete measures.
Roughly (google) translated the article can be summarized as:
We, the patient associations and health professionals, invite the future President of the Republic to put in place concrete measures at the beginning of his mandate that will enable him to respond to a number of needs, including:
1. Strengthen the role of specialized structures in the management of chronic pain by developing their accessibility throughout the country and strengthening the articulation of their missions with the health professionals of the city.
2. To better prevent chronic pain and its impact by proposing early detection and management of chronic factors, as well as prevention plans at work.
3. To sensitize health professionals to chronic postoperative pain so that they are able to detect patients who can develop them and accompany them over time.
4. Strengthen the training of health professionals (specialists or general practitioners) in the management of pain and suffering, with emphasis on the coordination of care.
5. Guarantee the management of pain when the patient is hospitalized at home.
6. Closer involvement of patients and their representatives in the evaluation of new therapies for the control of pain and suffering, and access to a diversified therapeutic arsenal in order to respond as closely as possible to the patient’s needs.
7. Improve the relief of acute pain when patients arrive in emergency rooms.
8. Develop pain assessment tools for patients with communication difficulties (infants, people with psychiatric disorders, people with disabilities, etc.).
