Description

Pediatric pain is under-recognized and under-treated throughout the world. Recently, a Lancet Child & Adolescent Commission was formed to address this critical problem. In this PRF podcast, three co-authors on the Commission meet virtually with PRF Correspondent Wendy Gaultney to discuss the origins of the Commission's work, the problem of pediatric pain, and the way forward to improve the lives of children and adolescents with pain. Podcast participants include:

• Paula Forgeron, RN, MN, PhD, Professor, Director and Associate Dean, School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Ottawa, Canada
• Richard Howard, FFPMRCA, Consultant in Paediatric Anaesthesia and Pain Medicine, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, London, UK
• Tonya Palermo, PhD, Professor of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, University of Washington, Seattle, US
