Webinar: Multidisciplinary approach to pain management involving all the actors
Pain management is a core goal of anaesthesiology — but its multifactorial nature means that every professional involved in patient care has a role to play. Organised by WFSA’s Pain Management Committee, this webinar explores how embracing a truly multidisciplinary approach can improve patient outcomes, and how WFSA can lead the way in promoting and expanding pain management education across specialties.

- Implement collaborative treatment plans — coordinating care across professional roles through structured communication and shared decision-making.
- Apply patient-centered metrics — using validated tools to measure pain, function, and quality of life to guide multidisciplinary care.
