National Teaching Programme
The National Teaching Programme aims to coordinate high quality educational teaching for Pain Medicine Trainees across all regions and create opportunities to share good practice.
The National Teaching Programme is a supplementary resource deigned to share good learning and good practice, and to allow the exposure of topics and teaching from other regions on an ad hoc basis. This is not a replacement for Pain Medicine training.
Training already exists in some regions, and trainee are invited to join these established session. We will also be providing some FPM led sessions. The aim is to provide access to monthly training sessions.
The provision programme for 2025 is as follows:
