Sorry but I don't really have any relevant input since I'm in the US - just an observation.... Acute pain signifies a serious underlying medical condition - requiring physician intervention. Unless you're in an advance practice role, nursing scope of practice would be very limited in this situation until the physician has determined a course of treatment.
Hi HouTx, Thank you for your reply, but the acute pain service is an advanced practice role that supports patients on the wards post op, supported by a lead physician. I have to create a presentation that supports the developement of this role and was hoping to get a bit of advice on here, but not sure if I have posted in the right section.

Have you tried any of the above? I appreciate a couple of them are Scottish but you may still be able to use them. Are you a prescriber? If so bring that in. If not point out that you would benefit from the course.
A short powerpoint presentation with 5-6 relevant slides and remember handouts.

Hi All,
I am hoping you can all help me, Allnurses have helped me in the past and I could do with a little bit of advice today!
I am currently in a secondment as an acute pain nurse at my trust and I have to reapply for my job hopefully making it permeant. I hate interviews and I have never had to do a presentation for a job.
I have been asked to create a presentation the question being
'how do you see the acute pain service developing in the future and what would be your contributions'
I have so many ideas but finding it hard to find the evidence to back it up.....
I really appreciate any help!!!!
