ESCAPE-pain facilitator resources

Knees, hips and backs

This page contains all the essential training materials required to deliver the ESCAPE-pain programme for knees, hips, and backs. These resources—including the training manual, delivery guides, and supporting materials—are freely available to support programme delivery.

Facilitators are expected to work through these materials as part of self-led learning or in-house training. Best practice includes reviewing all materials thoroughly, familiarising yourself with the programme’s evidence base, and observing established sessions where possible.

If you are seeking standardised training or CPD-accredited sessions, please contact the Health Innovation Network South London at hin.southlondon@nhs.net to express your interest or to discuss options.

You can download all resources here or download themed ESCAPE-pain resource folders below.
