  1. Thanks Team, great podcast on pain, I really loved your emphasis on the nonpharmacological analgesia, having identified its value early in my career which I love passing on to new staff. here in New Zealand.
    Our services converted from Entonox some years ago to methoxyflurane and I loved your comment comparing methoxyflurane to a self-administered morphine syringe as I have found it to be a fantastic agent for initial self-administered effective analgesia while inducting more long-term agents.

    I wonder if there is any intention to record exportable continuing education points with your pod casts?
    I recently found the ems 2020 podcast who had until recently had not offered CE on account of keeping the information free to all, they just announced Free CE via the website https://guardian-you.com/ just wondering if this will assist you guys to?
    Regards, Will
