3/5 200 participants (FPs, NPs, Nurses, and community members) attended an educational webinar focused on opioid sparing practices and the (lack of) evidence for opioid analgesics to treat noncancer pain.

4/5 What were the key messages? 1. Audit & feedback projects (eg. REDONNA study: doi.org/10.1016/j.cct.…) should include co-interventions to tryout messages 2. The educational session was feasible & acceptable 3. It helped participants understand opioid initiation variability
5/5 In summary, further refinement to the intervention (is needed, and) could be a feasible way to train prescribers to help tackle the current toxic drug crisis and save more lives. (5/5) @OverdoseDay#IOAD2022#endoverdose#MedEd

The REDONNA study doi.org/10.1016/j.cct.…
began from the motivation for improved & safer opioid prescribing in primary care
We aimed to educate MDs about their OWN prescribing practices using audit & feedback letters developed by the @Drug_Evidence@JanKlimas@ShawnaNarayan 1/4
They received information about the number of new opioid initiations & how they compared to the average physician. They were provided information on the (lack) of effectiveness on pain for opioid naïve patients through an educational webinar: doi.org/10.1093/fampra… (2/3)
From this study, we hope to support the uptake of quality prescribing practices that are equity-oriented and evidence-based to help patients experience less pain. (3/4)
2/ 💯Primary care is in a terrible state in BC (has been worsening for 20 years), and this money might "stem the bleeding" but it won't remedy the sharp objects causing the bleeding🩸🩸🩸
3/ Imagine public education in the same state, a million kids don't have a school to go to and teachers quitting everywhere because they are burnt out, and the cost of running their own school is unsustainable
