Improving Assessment and Management of Post-Stroke Pain – Webinar

Post Stroke Pain Management Webinar

Purpose

This webinar aims to improve clinician confidence and competence in assessing and managing post-stroke pain through a holistic, patient-centred approach aligned to NICE and Royal College of Physicians (RCP) guidance. It will support community and rehabilitation clinicians to apply evidence-based strategies, recognise escalation thresholds, and embed person-centred care into everyday practice.

Learning Outcomes

1. Improve understanding of post-stroke pain mechanisms to support accurate assessment and targeted management.
2. Strengthen evidence-based pain management skills aligned to NICE and RCP guidance, with a focus on rehabilitation-led and non-pharmacological approaches.
3. Clarify escalation and referral thresholds to support timely referral to specialist services.
4. Build confidence in person-centred pain management, including shared decision-making, goal-setting and self-management to optimise quality of life.
