PPA Study Day - The heart of pain care: complexity, reflection and connection

'The Heart of Pain Care: Complexity, Reflection and Connection'

Join us for a study day hosted by the Physiotherapy Pain Association, where we will explore pain care through the lenses of health complexity, clinical reflection, and human connections.

This event brings together clinical expertise, lived experience, and current practice developments to examine key areas such as:

• navigating clinical complexity and diagnostic uncertainty

• the emotional toll of clinical work in the presence of distress

• the value of building supportive and reflective spaces to shape our physiotherapy community.

Speakers include: Cassandra Macgregor PhD candidate and pain specialist physiotherapist; Jennifer Ford consultant physiotherapist & Dr Jeremy Gauntlett-Gilbert consultant clinical psychologist, lead clinicians from the Bath Centre for Pain Services; lived experience representatives and experienced facilitators to guide the interactive sessions.

This event is designed for physiotherapists navigating the challenges of working with people experiencing pain in any area of practice. The study day aims to offer fresh insights and space for small-group meaningful conversations.

With insights from people with lived experience and a strong emphasis on practical application, this is a day to refresh your perspective, connect with colleagues, and build your confidence to approach pain care.

Full programme to be shared in July!
