Wound-related pain is a common and often underestimated challenge for patients receiving care at home. These resources support a holistic approach to assessing and managing pain, recognising its physical, functional, emotional and psychosocial impact. They highlight practical strategies for pain assessment, including the use of validated tools, and outline both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions.
The aim is to support person-centred care, improve quality of life, and promote safe, effective pain management in the home care setting.
