Having specialist knowledge in Pain Management is an increasingly important asset and extra responsibility of medical personnel. The online Diploma in Pain Management has a unique focus on interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to pain management and service provision.
On completion of the Pain Management Diploma, you will be able to demonstrate a systematic understanding of the care of patients in Pain Management; critically evaluate current research in inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary Pain Management and demonstrate a critical understanding of self-care promotion for acute and chronic pain and deliver management strategies for the investigation and treatment of patients with pain conditions.
Assessment
The Pain Management course puts assessment at the heart of learning by using clinical scenarios to facilitate problem-solving, critical analysis and evidence-based care. The scenarios act as both the focus for learning and assessment thus embedding assessment within the learning process. Each of the six modules has the same assessment format.
Careers
The online Postgraduate Diploma in Pain Management is being introduced with the express purpose of promoting and enhancing professional skills and knowledge among its students, which have direct relevance and application to the demands of their working roles.

There is a need for postgraduate qualifications to assist with career enhancement and support specialisation.
Admission to the course is typically through the following qualifications: first degree or equivalent (including international qualifications); relevant professional healthcare (e.g. doctor, nurse) qualifications. Those without recognised qualifications will be considered on an individual basis and a wide range of prior experience may be taken into account.
