European Pain Federation EFIC® Pain Schools
An EFIC Pain School is an in-person educational event, usually spanning 3-4 days, wherein a group of healthcare professionals receive high quality hands-on and interactive teaching from leading pain educators. The teaching should be reflective of EFIC’s postgraduate curricula, and a pool of participants should be able to attend free of charge and with minimal cost, on the basis of a grant provided by EFIC to the hosts. EFIC Pain Schools are taught in English.

Promoting the effective management of children’s pain
This short course focuses on promoting the effective management of children’s acute pain in hospital. Effective pain management can be promoted by creating knowledgeable and confident practitioners through regular education and training which helps to reduce stress. This can be enhanced by supporting staff with the necessary evidence based pain management protocols so that practitioners can adopt an individual approach to a child and their family.
