Short Takes New Tip Sheets on Understanding and Managing Pain Share With Patients, Families and Referral Sources In May of 2012, NHPCO’s Caring Connections unveiled the LIVE Without Pain consumer campaign in partnership with Purdue Pharma, LP. The goal is to empower patients and family caregivers to advocate for expert pain relief in all care settings through education and how-to resources. As part of this initiative, four new tip sheets have been developed: • Physical Pain at End of Life • Understanding Pain for Improved Quality of Life • Caring for Someone in Pain • Pain at the End of Life – Common Questions You are welcome to make as many copies of these tip sheets as you wish to share with patients and families as well as your referral sources. Or you can purchase multiple copies through NHPCO’s Custom-Print Marketplace — with the option of adding your organization logo and a brief personalized message. • To download a copy of each tip sheet, use the links above or visit LIVE Without Pain > Resources on the Caring Connections website. • To order personalized copies, visit Customprint Marketplace. (If you are a first-time user, you must register first. You will receive an immediate email confirmation with your access information.) To learn more about the LIVE Without Pain initiative, visit www.caringinfo.org/pain. LIVE Without Pain at September’s CTC With funding support from Purdue Pharma, LP, a special preconference session about managing pain will be held in conjunction with the 2013 Clinical Team Conference.
