Sammanfattning
Twenty-six out of 34 clinics replied to a questionnaire concerning the
organisation of paediatric pain management. One third of them reported that
they have an organised activity for acute and chronic pain management. One
fifth of the paediatric clinics specialise specifically in paediatric pain. The majority are staffed with part-time employees. Only two doctors and four nurses work full time with these issues, and the numbers of psychologists and physiotherapists are limited. The resources are in fact limited to only a few paediatric clinics in the country.
