Inter-disciplinary evidence-based education from the frontline, for the frontline.
The pain management landscape has changed dramatically in recent years and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. A paradigm shift is underway as the difference, and the link, between acute and chronic pain become more clearly understood. There is a growing recognition of the scope and severity of persistent pain, as well as the critical role self-management plays in a patient’s outcomes and return to function. New information is constantly emerging, with significant opportunities to improve practice on the front lines.
On October 20th, 2012, the province’s leading clinical experts and scholars in pain management will assemble for a landmark event to share the latest developments and cutting-edge research. Sessions will focus on practical learning for health care practitioners from all disciplines. Breakout sessions will include best practice approaches, emerging research and interactive discussion on how participants may apply the learning in the context of their practice. These sessions are ideally suited to those practitioners who wish to acquire the latest knowledge and tools to most effectively understand and manage their patients’ pain.
Topics will include:
· The Role of Hope for People Living with Persistent Pain
· Practical Pain Assessment and Management for the Bedside Practitioner
· Supporting Pain Self Management In Acute Care Settings
· Addictions: Pain Management for the Opiate Experienced Patient
· Avoiding Medication Mayhem: Pharmacological Approaches for Chronic Pain
· Pain Management In Older Adults
· Getting Your Patient Back To Work
· Prevention of Post-Surgical Chronic Pain
· Getting Your Child Back To School /Work
· Pain Management in Palliative Care
· And more…
A panel of patient experts will share their stories over lunch.
