Pain in Secure Environments

Pain in Secure Environments

Pain in Secure Environments is being run by the Faulty of Pain Medicine of the Royal College of Anaesthetists and is endorsed by Public Health England. The course has been developed to meet the workforce training requirements for those professionals working within Secure Environments.

Managing persistent pain in secure environments presents a number of challenges surrounding diagnosis, management, and measuring meaningful outcomes of therapy. It may also present a good opportunity to observe the outcomes of treatment. Every person in custody should have access to evidence-based pain management that can be safely delivered. To achieve this, healthcare professionals working in secure environments need to understand current best practice in diagnosing and managing the symptoms of persistent pain.

This course follows on from the Public Health England published guide for professionals working in custody settings. http://www.nta.nhs.uk/uploads/persistentpain.pdf

Itis a multi-disciplinary course so GPs, pharmacists, nurses, drug workers and other healthcare professionals can attend the course as well as non-healthcare prison staff.
