Welcome to Better Pain Management

Since 2017, the Faculty of Pain Medicine, ANZCA, has successfully delivered the unique Better Pain Management eLearning program packages. Courses have been designed for specialist and medical practitioners, medical students, nurses, and allied health professionals engaged in the care of patients with persistent pain. These comprehensive module programs are optimised for flexible learning – being completely self-directed and self-paced. Each module is usually completed in around one hour.

All FPM Better Pain Management eLearning modules are now available for purchase by healthcare professionals – to either construct a self-directed learning program, or as a packaged pre-set course comprising modules that collectively produce a targeted learning program. Hospital unit managers and medical school academic staff can also purchase modules or courses on behalf of others, distributing licenses to staff and creating a comprehensive training program that supports the principles of pain management.
