simGP Pain Management Workshop
2019-02-26 18:30 - 21:00 | Bluewater Grill, 56 Duncraig Road, Applecross, WA, Australia
simGP is an innovative digital simulation program and the new way to do case studies designed specifically for GPs. It presents a real-world patient scenario, with presenting symptoms similar to general practice. The challenge is to use a consultative diagnostic approach and engage with your peers to investigate and uncover the underlying condition and discuss appropriate treatment approaches.
During this session you will have the opportunity to tackle a virtual patient consultation (simGP) and engage with your colleagues to discuss best practice, then participate in an educational debrief from a specialist. This will be a chance to review current best practice and discuss the practical challenges raised during the simulated consultation.
Learning Objectives
1. Measure and assess patient pain levels in primary care to facilitate functional-based action plans
2. Understand the impact of pain on function and implement management options to improve QOL for patients with pain
3. Explain the biopsychosocial pain paradigm to patients as a basis for individualised treatment decisions
4. Understand the role of analgesic treatment options in pain management in primary care
