When Pain Gets in the Way

• Do you provide advice, treatment, or support for people living with pain?

• Are you not very confident that you know enough about pain to do the best for your patients/clients?

• Do you ever feel confused or overwhelmed?

If you answered ‘yes’ to any of these questions, this even is for you!

Join us for a fun, free and informative look at some of the lesser known complexities of pain, and some of the myths and misinformations that are often barriers to effective management. Our speakers and panel of expert guests will share insights, answer questions & encourage you to consider whether you might need to ‘flip’ the way you think about, talk about, & treat persistent pain.

Look forward to a presentation by Prof Cormac Ryan from Teesside University and Flippin’ Pain, and an Expert Panel Q&A discussion involving you, the audience.

Our panel involves (left to right):

• Felicity Thow, Chair

• Jamie Watson, Physiotherapy Pain Lead at at North Tees and Hartlepool NHS Foundation Trust.

• Kathleen Wotton, person living with chronic pain

• Genna Rigby, Long Term Health Conditions Lead at Impact on Teesside
