      Abbey Pain Scale

      #Pain Management #Pain helpsheet

      Unidentified or untreated pain can significantly contribute to a person's behaviour. For residents that are unable to communicate their needs, it is essential that careful assessments are completed to understand if they are experiencing pain and the cause of the pain so that it can be treated.

      The Abbey Pain Scale is a non-verbal pain assessment tool that assists healthcare professionals with identifying pain in a person living with dementia.
