Repost: Nurses at the Forefront of Chronic Pain Solutions with Dr. Kim Leblanc

Join us as we revisit our conversation with Dr. Kimberly LeBlanc, president of the Canadian Nurses Association, about the vital role of nurses in chronic pain management. The discussion covers the importance of patient-centred care, equitable access, nursing education, and advocacy for marginalized groups. Dr. LeBlanc emphasizes listening to patients, addressing inequities, and the need for ongoing research. The episode highlights collaborative, holistic approaches to pain care in Canada, guided by Health Canada’s Action Plan for Pain, and encourages continued dialogue and support for those living with chronic pain.
