Pharmacists Lead Buprenorphine Prescribing Education at VA Medical Center
Original: Pharmacy-Led Education for Prescribing Buprenorphine for Chronic Pain at a VA Medical Center
A US Department of Veterans Affairs medical center has introduced pharmacy-led education to train clinicians on prescribing buprenorphine for chronic pain. The programme aims to improve safe opioid prescribing practices and expand use of buprenorphine as an alternative treatment, reflecting wider efforts within the VA to address chronic pain management and reduce opioid-related risks among veterans.
Why now: Interest in safer opioid alternatives and new prescribing training models within the VA healthcare system
