The burden of chronic pain continues to rise with a growing prevalence. There is no cure and symptoms are lifelong in the majority of cases.

The development of chronic pain is of crucial importance in cases of clinical negligence and personal injury causing extensive, enduring losses.

Dr Whymark places great importance on remaining up to date in her field. There has been a paradigm shift in pain medicine in recent decades following the discovery of pain pathways which has only recently begun to be accepted. Current evidence finds a multidisciplinary biopsychosocial approach to be an effective long-term strategy for managing chronic pain.  This contrasts with commonly held beliefs and behaviours relating to pain, and the best approach to managing it. 

Dr Whymark explains the body’s mechanisms for maintaining and modifying chronic pain using plain English. 

Whether a conference or team meeting, a large audience or a small group, face to face or virtual, Dr Whymark can tailor educational talks on all aspects of acute and chronic pain and anaesthesia to ensure they are relevant to your audience’s needs and interests.
