Join us for a webinar on Tuesday 15th July 2025 at 3:00 - 4:00 pm AEST

Key points: 

• Persisting pain after injury is a major obstacle for early RTW
• Most support high value care that promotes self-management of pain
• But most healthcare providers are not confident in their ability to provide this
• This talk presents a new, federally funded initiative to meet this challenge

Professor Michael Nicholas

Professor Nicholas is a clinical psychologist and has been working in the pain field since 1980. He holds a conjoint position at the University of Sydney Medical School and the Pain Management Research Centre at Royal North Shore Hospital. He has directed an internationally-recognised online graduate pain education program since 2012. On the translational side, he has also led the development of a new federally funded training program in pain management skills for all health disciplines since 2019. This program is about to be launched nationally, and this presentation will outline its key components.
