This article follows an In-depth piece published in last week's issue, which explored issues around pain management in older people following fractured neck of femur. It also discussed using femoral nerve block for pain relief in this group of patients. This Changing Practice article outlines the establishment of a nurse-led service to improve pre-operative pain management using femoral nerve block.
