About our programme

Pain is a complex and difficult experience; familiar to most of us yet at the same time deeply personal, it has been considered both an emotional and a physical experience at various times to different degrees. Despite clinical advances, its highly individual impact in people’s lives has made it a challenge for clinical management. The Clinical Management of Pain programme has been developed to tackle the ‘real-world’ challenges that you face as a clinician, with a strong focus and connection to patient and working in practice. It is a multidisciplinary programme which aims to develop your skills, knowledge and confidence while working with people experiencing pain using up-to-date evidence in a modern teaching environment.
