- Capture the considerable amount of work already underway across the province related to pain and the use of opioids within a single strategy document;
- Build on successes and identify and focus on the remaining gaps.
To this end, the Alberta Pain Strategy team is seeking your thoughts, feedback and input. Please take a few minutes to read this short document and complete the online survey found here. The survey will be available until September 17, 2018.
