Assessment of Children's Pain course for Medical Doctors
This session describes the assessment of pain in paediatric practice highlighting the different methodologies used when assessing acute and chronic pain.

- Identify appropriate clinical methods to assess pain
- Explain the relevance of the biopsychosocial model to pain assessment in children
- List the elements of cyclical assessment
- Distinguish between methods suitable for assessing acute and chronic pain
- Describe age-appropriate, validated pain assessment tools that can be used by the child, parent or carer and the healthcare professional
