We welcome Dr Graham Dunthorn to the podcast who is a GPwSI in Pain management. During the podcast we define chronic pain, symptoms and types of pain. We discuss assessment of pain including ; onset, reviewing medications, investigations and referral. We then utilise Graham's knowledge to discuss a patient with chronic lower back pain.

As always thank you for your help with the podcast Scott and thank you to our guest Graham for giving us his time on the podcast.

Reviewing patient medication
is the medication recommended?
is it effective?
is it safe?
is it wanted ?
