This can be a challenging area to work in as chronic
pain can affect so many aspects of a person’s life. Consequently,
multi-disciplinary approaches to pain management have developed to
address the physical, psychological, and social impact of chronic
pain. This workshop is an integrated approach suitable for all practitioners
interested in working with chronic pain.
Through talks, discussions, and experiential work participants can
explore the topics below. It will be an opportunity for practitioner’s
from different disciplines to work together and broaden their skill
base beyond the normal boundaries of their discipline. |

TOPICS INCLUDE
- Understanding the person in pain
- Being with the person in pain
- Working with the system
