Nurses working with patients who experience pain have a new tool to draw on. RNAO has published a best practice guideline (BPG) called Pain: prevention, assessment and management (Fourth edition). It is one of 50+ BPGs in RNAO’s expansive library.

An 18-member expert panel of RNs, NPs, RPNs, researchers, policy experts, a physiotherapist, and a person with lived experience are behind this latest edition. The group was led by: Dr. Céline Gélinas, full professor at McGill University and a senior researcher at the Centre for Nursing Research and Lady Davis Institute, Jewish General Hospital; and Dr. Lindsay Jibb, assistant professor at the University of Toronto’s Lawrence Bloomburg Faculty of Nursing, associate member at Institute of Medical Sciences, and a scientist at the SickKids research Institute.
