The challenge of successfully managing persistent pain can be one of the most daunting for both clinicians and sufferers.
Patients are often frustrated after failed short-term interventions. It is often difficult to understand and explain high and prolonged levels of pain where a traditional tissue based cause is lacking.
Less than 1% of overall healthcare training is devoted to pain education (Briggs, Carr & Whittaker, 2011). Furthermore, a considerable gap exists between many healthcare professionals understanding of how to teach and their ability to meet the demands of contemporary pain education.
The Know Pain course will help you to develop your pain education skills and help you become more confident in your clinical management of pain.
Treating patients with persistent pain can be extremely challenging. This course aims to establish how comfortable you feel when facing this challenge and give you the tools to address it.
How to explain persistent pain at a level that makes sense to your patients.
What do people with persistent pain want from healthcare.
Managing complex challenges that persistent pain brings to practice.
Evidence-based pain management models that makes sense to your patients.
Challenging the perception patients have that healthcare professionals are telling them that their pain is “in their head”.
Guide fearful, anxious patients who’ve previously found therapy unsuccessful.
integrate psychological management strategies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
apply evidence-based adult learning theories and andragogy when educating people about their pain.
