Total Pain in Palliative Care

18 January 2024

Dame Cicely Saunders, a pioneer of modern hospice movement, first coined the term "Total Pain" in 1964, which emerged from her unique perspectives as a nurse, social worker, and physician. By articulating the relationship between physical pain, psychological suffering, social problems, and spiritual distress, it changed the way we approach the assessment and management of pain.

This lecture will discuss about the concept of "Total Pain" and the implication on patient's pain management. An approach to recognise, assess, and manage patients who are suffering from "Total Pain" will be demonstrated through a case study, and the role of an interdisciplinary team management will be highlighted.


After the lecture, the participants will be able to gain an understanding on:

  • Concept of Total Pain in palliative care
  • Identifying patients who may have Total Pain 
  • An interdisciplinary approach to managing patients with Total Pain
