Benefits of taking the module to the individual, the organisation and the patient

You will be challenged to re-evaluate your knowledge of pain mechanisms and how to manage them in non- pharmacological ways. You will then apply new knowledge to a case study from your own practice.

Your organisation will benefit by having staff with expertise in the management of pain, with a compassionate, patient-centred approach to assessment and interventions and the ability to share best practice with colleagues

What you learn

You will gain a broad understanding of the dimensions of pain, a critical awareness of non-pharmacological current pain management and an ability to apply pain management principles effectively in practice.

General areas covered

  • neurophysiology and nature of pain
  • pain theories and models of pain 
  • factors influencing the assessment and interpretation of pain
  • the potential strategies in the management of pain including therapeutic interventions, patient self-management, cognitive behavioural therapy, activity and exercise and behaviour change.

Skills gained for the workplace, technical skills or academic skills

On this module you will develop reflective skills and advanced clinical reasoning skills.
