Chronic Pain Awareness

Understanding, supporting, and fostering inclusive workplaces for those living with chronic pain...

Chronic pain affects millions of people, yet it is often misunderstood, overlooked or dismissed. Unlike short-term pain, chronic pain persists for months or even years, impacting a person’s physical health, emotional wellbeing, and ability to work effectively.

This CPD-accredited course equips participants with the knowledge and skills to recognise chronic pain, develop empathy, and create a more inclusive workplace environment. By understanding the realities of chronic pain, organisations can support employees more effectively, improve retention, and enhance overall wellbeing.
