Fundamentals of Chronic Pain Management for Clinicians

6 & 7 June 2022

Chronic pain is a complex and common health problem that has a profound impact on individuals and society. Despite its prevalence, it remains complex to manage, largely due to the co-existence and interactions between the biological, social and psychological factors. This can lead to considerable frustration for both clinicians and patients. This multidisciplinary course is designed to provide clinicians with a fundamental understanding behind the assessment, treatment, and management of chronic pain, through a biopsychosocial lens.

This course aims to enable participants to:

Understand the differences between pain and nociception
Describe clinical distinctions between acute and persistent pain
