Scottish Pain Pharmacy Network Newsletter: August 2026

Published: 6th August 2026

Pain is one of the most frequent reasons people walk into a community pharmacy, whether that is for advice and support with either shorter or longer term pain condition. The SPPN newsletter is a useful way for pharmacy teams to keep up with what is happening across the pain network in Scotland and how it connects to your day to day.

Highlights include:

• An overview of Forth Valley's Pilot Pain Management Pharmacist Secondment

• Highlights from the Quality Prescribing guide for Chronic Pain 2026-2029

• Shared learning from the West of Scotland Advanced Practice Academy Conference
