Description:

Pain is often a constant companion for a person with a bleeding disorder. Infusions, injections, and bleeds can create physical pain. Current research demonstrates that pain can be present for all severities of bleeding disorders and shows that psychological pain is also often present in the form of anxiety and depression. In the past, medical interventions were medication and surgically-focused and had varied outcomes. Twenty-first century psychology is expanding our understanding and knowledge of how an approach to pain combining traditional pain treatments with psychosocial interventions can improve outcomes.   This session will explore the case for this shift, delve into new models of treatment for pain, and provide practical interventions that can be implemented within the Hemophilia Treatment Center model by all disciplines on the multi-disciplinary team. Join us to learn more about how a holistic approach to pain can benefit people with bleeding disorders and support them to thrive. The audience for this session is all HTC staff, including physicians, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, and anyone else interested in learning about new research on pain and pain management.

This webinar is jointly provided by Partners for Advancing Clinical Education (PACE) and ATHN and is subcontracted to Redefine Health Education for PT/PTA CE credit in many states. There is no cost associated with this webinar.
