RETHINK

A project aiming to reduce prescribing for neuropathic pain through audit and feedback 

Neuropathic pain is commonly managed in primary care and other settings outside of specialist pain management services. The primary aim of the 'Rethink' project was to improve the management of neuropathic pain in non-specialist settings.
