International Pain Awareness Month

September is International Pain Awareness Month. This year, Painaustralia will once again be working with the International Association for the Study of Pain to raise public awareness around pain, pain management and all the great work that pain professionals do.

This year’s theme: #MyPainPlan focuses on the importance of an individualised, multidisciplinary, multimodal approach to pain care.

IASP is also offering a free webinar series as part of its 2020 Global Year for the Prevention of Pain, starting with Living Well with Pain: Supporting Self-Management in Everyday Clinical Practice on 3 September 2020 with Dr Frances Cole MB BS MRCGP and Eve Jenner MSc MCSP.

For the entire webinar series, visit the IASP website.
