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, presenting 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 practices, 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.
