EDUCATING BEYOND WORDS USING ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACHES with ANNABEL KIER FRCC

Royal College of Chiropractors Pain Faculty LIVE Webinar Series

Moving beyond ‘body region silos’ to manage musculoskeletal pain: Actions to change clinical practice

WEBINAR 2: EDUCATING BEYOND WORDS USING ACTIVE LEARNING APPROACHES 

EVENT OUTLINE

This presentation will explore the role of education as a central aspect of patient care in order to impart evidence-based information and facilitate behavioural change. A focus will be placed on understanding the individual patient and their unique pain experience, which is essential when building a therapeutic relationship.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

• Understand the central role of education to enable patients to adopt attitudes, beliefs and behaviours likely to improve their overall health
• Develop active listening skills in order to understand the patient’s unique pain experience and enable the provision of information and advice in a patient-centred manner.
• Acknowledge that reassuring patients through active engagement is essential to reduce their fear and concerns; this includes dispelling unhelpful myths which they may hold.
• Gain confidence in assisting patients to explore barriers preventing them from adopting an active approach to managing their clinical condition.
