Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to set up a standardized cancer pain ward - known as the Good Pain Management (GPM) Ward with streamlined assessment and management procedures to act as a pain management model. In particular, it will enforce regular pain assessment from and throughout hospital admission, and treatment protocols introducing the use of strong-opioids in moderate cancer pain patients, following National Cancer Care Network (NCCN) Adult Cancer Pain Guidelines. The GPM ward will be compared against current-practice controlled ward.
