Clinical Assessment of Chronic Pain

Chronic pain presents a complex clinical challenge that extends beyond tissue pathology alone. Effective assessment requires an understanding of pain mechanisms, biopsychosocial contributors and how these factors influence patient presentation, behaviour and response to treatment.

Clinical Assessment of Chronic Pain provides clinicians with a structured, evidence-informed approach to assessing patients with persistent pain. This course focuses on improving clinical reasoning, refining subjective and objective assessment skills and enhancing confidence when managing patients whose symptoms do not fit a purely biomechanical model.

The course emphasises practical application, helping clinicians integrate contemporary pain science into everyday assessment and decision-making.
