Résumé : | The organization and funding of chronic pain management by public authorities began in Belgium about 10 years ago. Several successive pilot projects have been set up, evaluated and adapted. Nowadays, three types of teams are collaborating in network: (a) in every general hospital, an algologic multidisciplinairy team is mainly devoted to information and education of caregivers; (b) 35 multidisciplinary centres for chronic pain treatment offer a biopsychosocial approach to patients suffering from subacute or chronic pain; (c) 13 teams specialized in paediatric pain have a function of caregivers' sensibilisation and education about pain in children. A preliminary analysis of the 2014 activity report of these teams shows some difficulties. However, the motivation of healthcare professionals is high and they consider the current projects to be well suited to the clinical needs, for example by improving the biopsychosocial accompaniment of the patients. Educational needs of every caregiver in the domain of pain are high, and a better collaboration with the general practitioners is recommended. |
