Flynn Pharma Satellite Symposium
1745–1900 Thursday 24 September

Enhanced postoperative pain management and its role in the recovery process

Optimal and effective management of postoperative pain continues to present a challenge. Ineffective and suboptimal pain management have material and untoward consequences in humanitarian terms, postoperative morbidities, delayed recovery and prolonged length of hospital stay. A growing literature base in enhanced recovery and fast-track surgery increasingly recognises the importance of postoperative (epidural) analgesia, avoidance or minimisation of systemic opioid use and early mobilisation, as important contributors to patient management and recovery. Depodur®, (extended release epidural morphine sulfate 10mg/ml suspension for injection) has been recently launched in the UK and based on the clinical evidence and early UK experience, offers clinicians a new option and flexibility in the effective management of postoperative pain.

Flynn Pharma invites interested delegates to participate in our Satellite Symposium to hear of some of the recent developments and experience in the field.

Presenting the case for the prosecution and defence of the FFP will be Dr Dafydd Thomas and Dr Elfyn Thomas, respectively. Delegates will have the opportunity to act as the ‘jury’ and give their verdict after the proceedings, via keypad voting.
