Behavioural Medicine for the Pain Clinician - July 2024 ONLINE
Lecturer: Samantha Lindley MRCVS
This 4 day course is aimed at the pain clinician and the pain clinic veterinary nurse who is already familiar with treating chronic pain in dogs and cats. Very often, the practitioner is faced with the difficulty in distinguishing between behaviours that are directly the result of pain and those caused by pain, but now learned; the presentation of mixed behavioural/pain pictures; and the need to determine whether the outcome measures selected are pain or behaviour related.
