MSc Pain Management

The MSc Degree in Pain Management is an inter-professional, e-Learning programme intended for health care professionals who want to specialise in the field of pain management.

This one-year course begins by introducing the health care professional to the multifaceted nature of caring for patients who have pain. The modules are designed to provide you with the ability to understand the biopsychosocial aspects of pain, and to apply that knowledge to evaluate the various approaches to assessing and managing patients with different types of pain. Professional issues, including quality and safety, leadership and law will also be covered within the course. The module assessments are evidence-based reviews that can inform your clinical practice. The dissertation includes an evidence based review but can also be part of a research project or quality improvement project in an area of pain management. All of these combined aspects of the programme have the overall aim of improving patient outcomes and management for individuals living with pain.
