As a result, the Executive Directors Group (EDG)\u202fagreed to establish a High-Risk Pain Medicines (HRPM) Patient Safety\u202fProgramme and an\u202finitial\u202fproposal was approved by EDG in August 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check this page for regular updates and HRPM news as the programme progresses over the next 3 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"nhsuk-card__description\">Launch of the High Risk Pain Medicines (HRPM) 3 year patient safety programme Chronic or persistent pain affects at least [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":15,"menu_order":18,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-78","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/78","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=78"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/78\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":218,"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/78\/revisions\/218"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.communitypharmacy.scot.nhs.uk\/nhs-fife\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=78"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
