In partnership with Children’s Healthcare Canada, SKIP has released an updated version of the Procedural pain management in children & youth toolkit. Medical procedures are common and can be distressing for children, youth, and their families. As neurodiverse children children may have increased challenges with medical procedures this updated toolkit now includes a new section focused on neurodiverse youth.
“I would like to see prescribers pay as much attention to the pain kids have as they do to the potential complications of opioids. Families and patients need to be involved in weighing the risks and benefits of whether these medications should be taken, as opposed to being made to feel we are bad for trying to get medication that works.” – Parent partner
What an incredible year! Thank you to everyone who collaborated to make children’s pain a priority. Read through the SKIP 2022-23 Annual Report to celebrate the impacts of everyone within the SKIP network, including YOU.
