Peri-operative pain management in adults: a multidisciplinary consensus statement from the Association of Anaesthetists and the British Pain Society.

Background: Nearly half of adult patients undergoing surgery experience moderate or severe postoperative pain. Inadequate pain management hampers postoperative recovery and function and may be associated with adverse outcomes. This multidisciplinary consensus statement provides principles that might aid postoperative recovery, and which should be applied throughout the entire peri-operative pathway by healthcare professionals, institutions and patients.

Video analysis of communication by physiotherapists and patients in video consultations: a qualitative study using conversation analysis.

Objectives: To investigate the challenges of doing physical examinations and exercises by video, and the communication strategies used by physiotherapists and patients to overcome them.

Design: A qualitative study of talk and social actions, examining the verbal and non-verbal communication practices used by patients and physiotherapists. Video consultations between physiotherapists and patients were video recorded using MS Teams, transcribed and analysed in detail using Conversation Analysis.

Intersectionality as a theoretical framework for researching health inequities in chronic pain.

Chronic pain is experienced unequally by different population groups; we outline examples from the pain literature of inequities related to gender, ethnicity, socioeconomic and migration status. Health inequities are systematic, avoidable and unfair differences in health outcomes between groups of people, with the fundamental 'causes of causes' recognised as unequal distribution of income, power and wealth. Intersectionality can add further theory to health inequities literature; collective social identities including class/socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, gender, migration status, age, sexuality and disabled status intersect in multiple interconnected systems of power leading to differing experiences of privilege and oppression which can be understood as axes of health inequities.

What non-pharmacological and non-invasive pain management interventions are available for individuals from Turkish-speaking ethnic groups with non-malignant chronic pain? A scoping review of published literature.

Objectives: A scoping review was selected to explore what non-pharmacological and non-invasive pain management interventions are available for individuals from Turkish-speaking ethnic groups with chronic pain and what represents the most appropriate intervention.

Inclusion Criteria: Adults with non-malignant chronic pain from Turkish-speaking ethnic groups residing in or outside of Turkey. All non-pharmacological and non-invasive pain management interventions were considered.

Inequalities and inequities in the types of chronic pain services available in areas of differing deprivation across England.

Objectives: In England, the prevalence of chronic pain is higher in more deprived compared to less deprived areas. Patients in such areas also experience more severe and disabling pain than those in less deprived areas. However, little is known about whether the distribution of services for chronic pain reflect these ranging levels of need.

Pain management programmes via video conferencing: a rapid review.

Objectives: During the current COVID-19 pandemic, healthcare has been transformed by the rapid switch from in person care to use of remote consulting, including video conferencing technology. Whilst much has been published on video consultations, little literature exists on use of this technology to facilitate group interventions. Group pain management programmes are a core treatment provided by many pain services.

Any qualified provider: a qualitative case study of one community NHS Trust's response.

Design: Intrinsic case study combining qualitative analysis of interviews and field notes.
