e-Learning resources for sites/providers

We are delighted to announce the launch of two new, free and interactive ESCAPE-pain e-learning resources we have developed with Health Education England e-Learning for Healthcare.

The resources are aimed at prospective ESCAPE-pain sites/providers but can also be useful as a refresher for those who have had a gap between attending their ESCAPE-pain facilitator training and delivering the programme.

The first session is aimed at helping interested providers determine how ESCAPE-pain may fit within their organisation and to begin the process towards implementation. The second session is aimed at professionals (healthcare professionals and exercise instructors) who plan to deliver the programme and become ESCAPE-pain facilitators.

 

   

Each e-Learning session takes approximately 20-30 minutes to complete, with the aim of improving providers’ understanding of what the programme involves and to prepare for the facilitator training. 

Please note that eligible facilitators will still need to attend the ESCAPE-pain training in order to deliver the programme.
