I would discuss realistic goals, expected benefits, adverse effects, and monitoring requirements, then make a documented shared decision based on clinical evidence and applicable prescribing guidance. How do you apply opioid stewardship in chronic pain management? I review the indication, effectiveness, functional benefit, adverse effects, dependence risk, and interactions of opioid therapy at regular intervals. Where appropriate, I use shared decision-making to optimise non-opioid and non-pharmacological options, support safe tapering, and ensure that any prescribing change has clear follow-up and safety-netting. Describe how you would manage a patient whose treatment is not improving pain or daily function. I would reassess the original diagnosis, adherence, treatment goals, dosing, adverse effects, and any new clinical factors. I would use patient-reported outcomes and functional measures to determine whether the treatment remains appropriate, adjust or discontinue it when clinically indicated, and involve relevant members of the multidisciplinary team. How would you ensure safe remote consultations for complex pain patients? I would verify identity and location, obtain a thorough history, review records and current medication, and document consent and clinical reasoning carefully. I would establish clear escalation routes for red flags, give written safety advice, arrange appropriate follow-up, and coordinate with the patient’s GP or other clinicians when needed. Why are you interested in developing expertise in medical cannabis for chronic pain? I am interested in responsibly evaluating emerging treatment options for patients whose symptoms have not responded adequately to conventional care. I would approach cannabis-based medicines with an evidence-led, patient-centred mindset, using careful selection, monitoring, and governance to support safe and meaningful outcomes.
