Opioids to treat chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP)

The use of opioids for chronic non-cancer pain.

RACGP position
Although opioid analgesics have historically been commonly used in chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP), they can cause significant patient harms.
There is limited evidence to support opioids as a treatment for CNCP and there is no evidence to suggest long-term benefits for treating patients with opioids.
​The RACGP advises that long-term opioid use in CNCP should not be common, must be undertaken with caution and must be based on consideration of the likely risks and benefits.

PHN Multicultural Health Framework February 2024

PHN Multicultural Health Framework which aims to improve health and wellbeing outcomes and experiences for multicultural communities across all PHN regions.  
While this tool is specifically for PHNs, it has a strong focus on collaboration across the health system and other sectors and so we wanted to make sure you are aware of this Framework. 

The Framework provides high-level guidance and best practice actions to support PHNs to deliver locally informed and relevant responses in partnership with other stakeholders. 

The Framework was developed by representatives from approximately 20 PHNs including members of the:
•    PHN Multicultural Health Framework Working Group and 
•    National PHN Cultural Diversity Community of Practice.

Development involved review of existing frameworks and guidelines including those already developed by PHNs and key sector leaders including Mental Health Australia, Migrant and Refugee Health Partnership, Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Health Care, and the Centre for Culture, Ethnicity and Health. 

A webinar will be held on 25 March at 2pm AEDT to provide more information about the Framework. 

For more information, please contact multicultural@bsphn.org.au.

SA Community Pharmacy UTI Services: information for GPs

From 1 March, South Australian women aged 18 to 65 experiencing symptoms of an uncomplicated urinary tract infection (UTI) can speak to trained community pharmacists and may be supplied a one-off course of antibiotics, if they meet clinical criteria.

Women assessed to be at risk of a complicated UTI or a serious infection will be referred to their GP/other health service as appropriate. 

Practice managers may be alerted that pharmacists may contact GPs to facilitate referral.

The new services complement existing health services offering timely advice and treatment for patients when they can’t access usual care and will reduce ED admissions.
