Course Description

This full-day CPD course provides an advanced, evidence-informed exploration of pain management, focusing on contemporary approaches to assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation for individuals living with persistent pain. Participants will critically evaluate the theoretical foundations and clinical principles underpinning pain management, exploring the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of persistent pain and their implications for clinical practice.

The course integrates the latest evidence on pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions, supporting clinicians to develop holistic, person-centred management strategies that promote function, self-efficacy, and quality of life. Learners will enhance their ability to apply critical reasoning, synthesise research, and design meaningful, evidence-based interventions for complex clinical scenarios.

Who is the course for?

This course is designed for allied health professionals including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, orthotists and others involved in the management and rehabilitation of patients with persistent pain.

It is particularly suited to practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of pain mechanisms, evaluate treatment strategies, and refine their ability to apply evidence-based and biopsychosocial principles to real-world clinical contexts.

Delivered at a Level 7 (postgraduate) standard, the course assumes some prior knowledge of pain physiology and clinical rehabilitation principles.
