We would welcome your comments on the draft ‘back pain’ monograph. This is an update to the existing monograph in the ‘All Wales Common Ailments Service formulary’ document published in August 2023.
The Common Ailments Service aims to improve patient access to consistent, evidence-based advice for the management of common ailments.
The Welsh Medicines Advice Service (WMAS), in collaboration with the Community Pharmacy Clinical Advisory Group, have updated the back pain monograph to reflect the NICE Clinical Knowledge Summary update of October 2024, which incorporates the NICE guidance [NG234] on Spinal metastases and metastatic spinal cord compression.
