Thursday 3 December
7.30am – 8.30am
Presented by Dr Matt Wilson, Palliative Medical Specialist, Hospice Waikato
Ketamine has a longstanding but sometimes controversial role in managing complex pain in palliative care. This practical, case-based session will explore who may benefit from ketamine, when it should be considered, and how it can be used in clinical practice. We will discuss findings from a retrospective study of subcutaneous ketamine for complex cancer pain at Hospice Waikato and consider what our local experience can teach us about using ketamine well.
