NEW format for the Chronic Pain Management course
LIVE TEACHING, LIVE CASES, LIVELY DISCUSSION
If online courses are not for you, if the idea of immersing yourself in a subject in lovely surroundings, sustained by wonderful home cooking appeals to you; if being away from the distractions of home life is the only way for you to learn……
The FOUR-DAY live-in-person Chronic Pain Management Course is BACK!
This course is a mixture of didactic teaching, practical and discussion to develop a fully integrated, compassionate and pragmatic approach to treating chronic pain in the dog and cat.
It takes place at the wonderful Overtown Manor, where Nancy Lawson cooks locally sourced, delicious lunches, served in her farmhouse kitchen. Staying at Overtown makes the course a relaxing residential experience, but there are also many Air BnBs, pubs with rooms, small hotels in the local area. Contact Nancy directly for rooms on Nancy@overtownmanor.co.uk
Course contents:
Day One: Chronic pain - what is it? Why is it different from acute pain and why does that matter? Why do we have to work so much harder controlling chronic pain in non-human animals?
Day Two: Assessment of chronic pain - tools and triangulation
Day Three: Live case assessment; approaching the treatment of chronic pain, starting with analgesia
Day Four: Treatment of chronic pain - beyond medical analgesia.
Cost: £1,540 plus VAT which includes four days of teaching; refreshments and lunches; course notes, and access post-course to the online course, which is yours to keep and review. The price does not include accommodation.

Testimonials
Lucinda, MRCVS
Thank you so much for the most wonderful Acupuncture Foundation course last weekend. It was fantastic in every aspect from organisation, content, delivery, practical training and venue and of course amazing food! The best CPD I have attended in 15 years out by far!
Anika, MRCVS
WVAG Foundation Course February 2023. This course truly exceeded my expectation. Very practical and detailed theory that was covered. Sam and Chelsea are excellent teachers and this course was educational and enjoyable. Knockderry House Hotel was magical and a five star experience. I can only commend Sam and Chelsea for putting together an insightful course. I look forward to taking my knowledge and skills gained from this course back to South Africa and see the benefits it can bring my patients.
Sarah, MRCVS
Excellent, really relevant to clinical practice and gave me lots of confidence to start chronic pain consults. I really enjoyed the course – Samantha is a great speaker and was happy to answer all of our questions. It’s great to have someone so experienced in assessing and treating pain teaching. The food was amazing again!
Becky, MRCVS
No other word to describe the speaker apart from “fantastic!” Engaging, managed to stimulate discussion, something which I know from experience can be very difficult particularly during online courses. I particularly appreciated that Sam ensured everything was included in the recordings, so that even though I couldn’t join live, I still had all the information.
