Various committees are present in the establishment to improve the quality of patient care.

Pain Committee - CLUD

The Pain Management Committee (CLUD) is a centre for reflection and proposals, working in effective and permanent collaboration with the hospital's management and the CME, as well as with the clinical, pharmacy, administrative and technical departments.

Pain assessment and treatment are an integral part of Clinique Axium's establishment project.

The clinic has :

• a CLUD
• a pain team made up of pain referral nurses, an algology nurse and trained doctors,
• pain protocols.

The establishment implements the principles of the contract of commitment to the fight against pain instituted by the ministerial circular: n° 2202-166 of April 30, 2002 and adheres to the Réseau Douleur PACA OUEST.

If you or someone close to you is suffering from pain while you are in hospital, you can talk to the nursing team and the doctor treating you. To help us tailor your treatment more effectively, you can tell us "how much it hurts" by rating your pain from 0 to 10.

Our aims :

• Prevent: pain caused by certain treatments or examinations: injections, dressings, catheterisation, etc. Pain sometimes associated with everyday activities such as washing or simply moving around, etc.

• Treat and relieve: acute post-operative pain is treated by the nursing team for systematic analgesic treatments and on request depending on the pain of each patient.

Our resources:

• Measuring pain is essential for any treatment. Several pain assessment scales are used, depending on the patient.
• The second tool is communication. If you have any questions, please ask the department manager.
• The third tool is analgesics, which are used according to the degree of pain.

Nosocomial Infection Control Committee - CLIN

The Nosocomial Infection Control Committee (CLIN), in collaboration with theOperational Hygiene Team (EOH), works to prevent and control these infections by monitoring the patient environment: surfaces, air, water, equipment used and care practices.
