Pain as a Long Term Condition Module 03 for Medical Doctors

For most people, their first experience of pain is often short term following injury (see Module 2) . However many people live with persisting pain that impacts on both their physical function and emotional wellbeing. This module explores persisting or chronic pain and what can be done to help people learn self - management skills. People often need support to rebuild their lives in a context where medicines and therapies may not provide satisfactory pain relief.  Many argue that persisting pain should be viewed and given the same status as any long-term condition.

eIntegrity programmes are developed by NHS Health Education England’s e-Learning for Healthcare programme (HEE e-LfH). 

The programmes are high quality self-directed learning programmes.  They are designed to support training and CPD and are excellent resources alongside other traditional teaching methodologies.  They have been developed by the UK NHS for use in the NHS.  However, many of the programmes have international relevance, particularly the specialty training programmes which are often mapped to UK specialty training curricula.
