• Outline the benefits and the multi-modal components of a pain management plan for a patient with chronic non-cancer pain
• Understand the need to initiate an opioid on a trial basis to establish efficacy and benefit, in patients deemed suitable for opioid therapy
• Gain information about the best practice use of the various opioid preparations available
• Plan for options to deal with break through pain
