This MicroCPD equips healthcare professionals (HCPs) with the skills to navigate the ethical complexities of opioid prescribing in pain management. Participants will explore ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, and justice while addressing real-world challenges like opioid dependence, treatment refusal, informed consent, and family pressure.

Using clinical case examples, structured frameworks, and evidence-based strategies, this course promotes ethical, patient-centred decision-making in both acute and chronic pain settings. It also offers guidance on documentation, communication, and risk mitigation across varied clinical scenarios.
