About this event
- Date and time Fri 5 Oct 2018 from 5:30pm to 8:00pm
- Location Royal Society of Medicine
- Organised by Anaesthesia
Anaesthetists are frequently challenged with difficult to manage acute pain. This is particularly prominent in a post-operative setting and frequently out of proportion to the surgery performed.
When conventional, and sometimes less conventional, pharmacological methods have failed we are often left with the feeling that something is missing from our training in managing these patients.
This evening meeting brings together experienced specialists from a variety of fields to shine a light on the complexity of psychology in managing acute pain.
