Chronic pain and opioid analgesic use: A case report

Abstract

Abstract Relationship‐based medical care is essential in the management of chronic pain. Opioids are often ineffective and can cause significant harm. However, there is significant time pressure, and there are insufficient resources and guidelines for GPs to be able to offer alternatives, putting the NHS at risk of a growing opioid epidemic.
