Working with people in pain asks a lot of us—clinical reasoning, communication, compassion, and curiosity. The Explain Pain live course is designed to support and elevate that work.

In this evolved, two-day, face-to-face experience, you’ll explore contemporary pain science through engaging lectures, case discussions, and interactive learning. You’ll unpack how pain works, why it persists, and how to support recovery by making sense of pain in a way that’s clear, accurate, and hopeful.

You’ll walk away with practical strategies to enhance your clinical conversations, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and help people move toward recovery.

Whether you’re new to pain science or deepening your practice—this course is for you. All healthcare professionals are welcome.

The course objectives for Explain Pain include:

Understand key pain physiology, including peripheral and central processes, and the underpinning neuro-endocrine-immune mechanisms.
Describe how beliefs, emotions, and context influence the lived experience of pain and its interpretation.
Evaluate different conceptual models of pain and select target concepts that support personalised education and recovery.
Analyse personal and patient beliefs using biopsychosocial reasoning tools to identify opportunities for reconceptualisation and reinforcement.
Develop person-centred strategies to facilitate healthy sense-making using metaphors, narratives, and experiential tools tailored to individual needs.
