Sharon asked:
I am looking for any SOP’s (standard operating proceedures), clinical pathways, terms of reference, best practice guidelines or job descriptions for a nurse practitioner in a chronic pain management setting. We have recently established a new NP position at the PMU (chronic pain management unit) within our hospital and would like further guidance as to the role/job description etc. Appreciate input.

Hi, I found your question very interesting. I too am looking for SOP’s for np’s r/t chronic pain management. I work in a rural family practice and work with many clients with chronic pain, no insurance and not much within 30 miles to refer to. today alone I saw 3 chronic painers and spoke w/ 2 more via phone. Have you found any info? I am even interested in training for NP’s Thanks
