To mark National Pain Week 2021, Support Kids in Pain (SKiP) will be hosting an online webinar for GPs and allied health practitioners discussing the principles of paediatric and adolescent pain management. The session will be facilitated by Dr Kathleen Cooke, past Chair of the Statewide Persistent Pain Management Clinical Network (SPPMCN), and SKiP clinical coordinator, Huong Nguyen. 

GPs and allied health professionals are often the first point of call when it comes to recognising persistent pain in young people, and they play a critical role in the management of these conditions. This session will provide practitioners with a basic understanding of the challenges of dealing with paediatric and adolescent pain and the benefits of adopting a multidisciplinary care approach, focused on the needs of the young person.
