Better Pain Management:
Pain management education for health professionals.
The Faculty of Pain Medicine (FPM), Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists, is committed to pain management education for health professionals. FPM specialist clinicians have created individual study modules and course packages for medical practitioners, specialists, students, nurses and allied health professionals who manage patients living with persistent pain.
Using a sociopsychobiomedical model approach to the pain experience, Better Pain Management will enhance your patient assessment and evaluation techniques which, if appropriate, are critical for effective pain management planning and prescribing. The program includes resources on how to develop an improved pain recognition and decision-making process with a range of practical case study exercises and demonstrations. Doctor/patient consultation videos will help you learn genuine patient-centric communication skills and how to educate those in your care in a multi-disciplinary healthcare setting. Each module includes unique interactive learning content and assessment tools, scientific animations and post-module self-assessment exercises.
Choose from three, six or 12-module pre-set courses, or personalise your own study package by selecting module options that best suit your own needs. All Better Pain Management modules are also available for individual purchase.
Learning is completely self-directed and self-paced. Modules can be completed in about one hour, and may be used for continuing professional development application.
