Meet the health practitioners and educators
“The Australian Standards for Health Practitioner Pain Management Education enable consistency”
“There’s nothing more frustrating for patients to be told one thing about their pain management, only to be told the complete opposite by a different professional.”
“They set a clear, consistent foundation for what good pain education should look like.”
“People who experience pain are seen right across the health sector in Australia and therefore, all health practitioners need to have an approach that’s based on best practice and the evidence that we currently have.”
“I have long wished that pain management at the primary care level could adopt the same approach that is in a multidisciplinary pain clinic where everyone has a common language about pain.”
