�The Institute of Cancer Research is urging Scottish medical professionals to utilize a new free selective information CD to help manage their patients' pain.
The Breaking Barriers: management of cancer-related hurting information CD ROM is being supplied to medical professionals at the World Congress on Pain (1) being held in Glasgow throughout this week.
The free synergistic CD ROM describes accurate ways of measuring annoyance, the combining of do drugs treatments that may assist in painful sensation management, how to tailor treatments to individual patients and the importance of communication skills. It is provided by The Institute of Cancer Research and was developed in collaboration with The Royal Marsden Hospital.
Breaking Barriers is the first CD ROM to compound such depth with a user-friendly interface that maximises a healthcare professional's apprehension of cancer pain management. Animations, videos and interactive elements all combine to rapidly prepare and help the user.
Catherine Dunbar is Manager of The Institute of Cancer Research's Interactive Education Unit (IEU), which is attending the World Congress on Pain. She explains:
"Every year 26,500 people in Scotland detect they induce cancer (2) and most of those will go on to seek handling for pain and discomfort. Regrettably, managing cancer pain sensation is a problematic area (3) and half of all patients in Western countries crataegus laevigata not pick up adequate painful sensation relief (4). This free CD ROM enables health care professionals to explore novel ways to manage the pain of patients."
Breaking Barriers encourages practitioners to explore non only the physical side of annoyance management only also the psychosocial position. Skills include instilling confidence in patients so that they privy better care for themselves, or to help patients overcome fears such as the venerate of opioid addiction. More information is available at http://www.icr.ac.uk/ieu/.
Breaking Barriers is already organism used by some Scottish healthcare professionals and educators. We hope many more healthcare professionals in Scotland and elsewhere request their free written matter by career 05601 422 921.
Joan Adam, a lecturer for healthcare professionals at St Columba's Hospice in Edinburgh has begun using Breaking Barriers. She adds:
"The Breaking Barriers CD ROM is excellent and I will be encouraging my students to obtain a copy. If the raw generation of health maintenance professionals sustains a high gear level of skill in pain management it will increase quality of life for patients."
Diane Loughlin, a reader and module coordinator for pain management education at University of West Scotland's School of Health, Nursing & Midwifery, has also begun victimisation Breaking Barriers. She says:
"Health professionals can be very good at assessing and alleviating pain but there ar usually gaps in cognition that can be filled. I would recommend whatever professional to request the Breaking Barriers CD ROM."
Dr John Williams is Consultant in Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine at The Royal Marsden Hospital, as well as the leading medical adviser in the creation of the CD ROM. He says:
"Pain is, essentially, a treatable phenomenon. It is beholden on us as practitioners to make sure that patients world Health Organization have got pain are recognised and are directed to appropriate cancer-related pain treatment services, whether they arrive inside our hospitals or inside our out patient departments."
Marietta Serrato from Walton on Thames in Surrey is 52 years honest-to-goodness and a Royal Marsden patient of Dr Williams. She says:
"I sustain a uncommon form of cancer called adenoid cystic carcinoma on the base of my tongue and it has spread to my lungs, creating constant pain that even warm treatments didn't stop for long. Thankfully Dr Williams and his team of specialists have found a combination of morphine and another drug to keep my pain down to more comfortable levels. I had always refused morphia before because I was afraid of addiction and increasing doses, but they helped me understand that morphine was the right answer and explained when I should supplement it for best effects. They are tremendous."
Dr John Williams and The Institute of Cancer Research's Interactive Education Unit are attendance the World Congress on Pain this week.

Jason Bateman - Bateman Lands Gig As Tv Director
JUNO star JASON BATEMAN has inked a deal to develop and direct new TV projects - after impressing network execs with his work on forthcoming sitcom DO NOT DISTURB.
Under the one-year contract with 20th Century Fox TV, Bateman will head up various projects for the studio through his own banner F+A Productions.
And it was the actor's pilot directorial debut on the Jerry O'Connell-starring show Do Not Disturb that convinced studio bosses of Bateman's talent.
Chariman Gary Newman says, "He did an excellent job on the pilot visually, brought great energy and enthusiasm to it and, as an actor, he really understands how to talk to and motivate actors."
And, as an occasional Bateman golf partner, he added: "Hopefully he will be a better director than golfer."

There ar many calypso lovers wHO expect Shadow's annual vent more than that of whatsoever other calypsonian. Like Stalin and scarce a handful of others, Shadow is a whole alone calypsonian; there is no other like Shadow. Since 1974 and his landmark composition "De Bassman," he has ne'er failed to deliver some of the toughest basslines, to the highest degree infectious grooves, and to the highest degree original compositions of anyone in the Caribbean. On top side of all this, he has a low, important vocalisation that lends an air of truth and finality to all he sings. His social and political commentaries are delivered in such a cagey way (and propelled as they ar by his unique soca beat) that the messages much sink in subliminally, a testimony to his unique lyrical skills. With this in creative thinker, how does one narrow down his virtually 20 records to a handful of recommendations?
