1. Introduction
The Pain-Free Programme (PFP) is a clinical audit that has two main objectives: Pain as the 5th Vital Sign (P5VS) and Pain-Free Hospital (PFH). The program focuses on providing effective pain management to all patients, ensuring that their healthcare journey in the hospital is as pain-free as possible. This is essential to ensure that patients are satisfied with their treatment and feel comfortable while receiving it.
