OPIOIDS, CHRONIC PAIN AND THE BIGGER PICTURE Every day in Australia, 3 people die and 14 people present to emergency departments because of harm from pharmaceutical opioids. Opioids can be an effective component of the management of acute and cancer-related pain. However, recent evidence shows that for most patients with chronic non-cancer pain, opioids do not provide clinically important improvement in pain or function compared with placebo. Additionally, they carry significant risk of harm; opioid-related harms persist or increase with time and increasing doses. A new Australia-wide education program from NPS MedicineWise, Opioids, chronic pain and the bigger picture aims to equip health professionals and consumers with tools and resources to reduce the harms of opioids while ensuring adequate pain management and quality of life for people with chronic non-cancer pain. NPS MedicineWise educational visitors will undertake one-on-one and small group visits in general practice. The program will include online professional development activities and a MedicineWise News article to help support GPs and pharmacists in delivering better quality care for patients.

Opioids, chronic pain and the bigger picture
Opioid medicines have a limited role in treating chronic non-cancer pain. Clinicians need to balance opioid-related harm with effective pain management and quality of life for patients.Congratulations to all the winners at the Busselton Freight Service Rising Sports Star awards on the weekend, including encouragement winner, Maddison Stolp, pictured here with our Exercise Physiologist, Clayton Trigwell.

RUBIX HEALTH are looking for expressions of interest from men who might wish to be involved in getting a "Man Walk" off the ground in Busselton. This initiative has been extremely successful in supporting men to walk, talk and support one another in many locations in the eastern seaboard.
The man walk has the potential to help motivate and connect men in our community whilst they develop new positive activity habits.
The concept of having such an initiative in Busselton aligns with RUBIX HEALTH's commitment to improve the wider physical and mental wellbeing of the community in which we operate.
We are seeking a small group of guys who are prepared to commit to participating and being the lead for the walk one morning per month over a 6 month trial.
The group would be an informal community activity with no fees involved.
The walks are proposed to leave from the Busselton CBD foreshore and cater for all paces of walkers in a return to start point format. If the participants desired, there could be the opportunity for those that wish to hang around after the walk to catch up over a cuppa.
Please contact David Barton at RUBIX HEALTH at admin@rubixhealth.com.au or call 97524174 if you are interested in assisting us to get the man walk off the ground in Busselton. If you don't feel able to commit to being part of the leadership of this group, but want to be notified about developments and dates / times for the walk, please also send us your contact email.
If you know of others who might want to participate or help with the groups leadership, please share this post to them and your wider network.
