| Public Lecture - Hypothetical "A Woman in Pain"
In the spirit of the IASP’s Global Year Against Pain in Women, the Australian Pain Society is joining with the Arthritis Foundation of Australia (WA), and the Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010, to present a Hypothetical for the public entitled “A Woman In Pain”. It is directed at all women who suffer pain, as well as their families, carers and friends. Arthritis Week in WA will also be launched at this event by Ms Lisa Scaffidi, Lord Mayor of Perth.
Painful conditions affecting women have a huge global economic and human impact. Yet, at all levels of Government there is still widespread lack of awareness and recognition of these health-care issues. Surveys show that chronic pain is generally more prevalent in women than men; however women are less likely to receive a meaningful diagnosis and proper treatment. Epidemiological research has also shown that women generally experience more recurrent pain, as well as more severe and longer lasting pain than do men. As one woman who has experienced this issue says "I really think a lot of women in pain are not taken seriously. Because they have children, their pain is put down to the stress of them being a Mum."
The Hypothetical will be Moderatored by Mr Ben Horgan (National Action Network Coordinator,Australia Bone and Joint Decade 2000-2010) and will feature the following panelists:
Dr Allyson Browne – Clinical Psychologist
Dr Nicola Cook - Rheumatologist
Dr Stephanie Davies – Pain Physician
Ms Polly Delaney - Consumer
Professor Nicky Leap - Midwife
Ms Petrina Lawrence - Consumer
Dr Helen Slater - Physiotherapist
Dr Barbara True - Rheumatologist
Bookings are essential for this event and can be made by contacting Chantelle at Arthritis WA on 08 93882199. Further details on this event can also be viewed at www.apsoc.org.au.

| Managing pain and soft tissue injuries with CBT
Pain is a major burden for individuals and organisations, and psychological factors or 'yellow flags' play a significant part in this. Cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) helps optimise outcomes - reducing disability and distress, and improving return to work, for example - and is now being integrated into the management of injured workers. We'll cover how to assess people with pain and injuries both during the acute and chronic phases and how to conduct CBT at different stages in the current compensation context in NSW.
Hosted by the Australian Pain Society, this day is designed to assist all counselling professionals, including psychologists, counsellors, rehabilitation providers and psychiatrists, involved in the rehabilitation of people with persisting pain following an injury. This course attracts 7 APS professional development points.
