SUMMARY:St Clare Masterclass: Prescribing opioids - the pitfalls and challenges
DESCRIPTION:Join Dr Arjun Kingdon for a free lunchtime lecture exploring the pitfalls and challenges of prescribing opioids. \nOpioids (narcotics) are used with or without non-opioids to treat moderate to severe pain.

Additionally\, new challenges are threatening these advances. These challenges are numerous and include educational deficits\, time restraints\, and difficulties with side-effects and tolerance. Dr Qamar Abbas will deliver this talk to address those pitfalls and challenges and suggest ideas to deal with those. \nDr Arjun Kingdon is a Consultant in Palliative Medicine at St Clare Hospice and Princess Alexandra Hospital. \nBooking is now closed.

SUMMARY:Planning for your future
DESCRIPTION:Join Lynne Hooper from the St Clare First Contact Service \nThe topic is ‘Planning for your future’ \nFreedom of choice\, making decisions\, voicing your needs\, hopes\, wishes are all things we take for granted.

The wishes you may express may be personal to you from where you would like to be cared for\, who you would prefer to care for your pet\, to your preference of shower to bath. \nSign up to this free\, in person event\, being held at the hospice HERE
