Abstract

A survey of newly qualified pre-registration house officers was performed to determine the source and timing of any instruction received on prescribing for pain control. The findings revealed an absence of teaching for many house officers, either as undergraduates or whilst in post. There is a need to broaden the scope of teaching to focus more on the practical aspects of prescribing analgesics.
