National Teaching Sessions
The National Teaching Sessions aims to coordinate high quality educational teaching for Pain Medicine Trainees across all regions and create opportunities to share good practice.
The National Teaching Sessions 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 local Pain Medicine teaching.
Local teaching already exists in some regions, and trainees are invited to join these established sessions.
