OPEN and the New Zealand Pain Society: a new partnership for pain care in Aotearoa
We’re proud to announce a new partnership between OPEN and the New Zealand Pain Society (NZPS), bringing the OPEN Clinical Pain Training Program to health professionals across Aotearoa New Zealand
A shared commitment:
NZPS brings together doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists, occupational therapists and other professionals who share one goal: better outcomes for people with pain and their whānau. OPEN shares that goal. Together, we want to make high-quality pain education easier to reach for members wherever they work, from city hospitals to rural clinics.
About the OPEN program:
The OPEN Clinical Pain Training Program offers up to 20 hours of evidence-based online learning. It is flexible and self-paced, so it fits around busy clinical schedules. It covers pain assessment, communication, interdisciplinary care and person-centred pain care.
Co-developed by leading pain experts, people with lived experience, the University of Sydney and Curtin University, OPEN is designed for a multidisciplinary workforce, just like NZPS.
