About our training

We run a range of training courses for practitioners, including

The Ten Footsteps Training Programme

Ten Footsteps is our flagship training programme. Accredited by the Personalised Care Institute, it is based on the core self-management themes embedded in Live Well with Pain’s respected Ten Footsteps Programme.
The course runs across three half-day sessions, spread over a period of weeks so that participants can practice their skills in everyday work situations between sessions.
At the end of the course, participants have the key skills and tools they need to be able to confidently guide people on their journey to becoming effective self managers of their pain.

More Skills, Less Pills

This seven hour course is split of over two half day sessions. The course focuses on person centred approaches to chronic pain and the shift from a biomedical view of pain.
Session one (more skills) offers insights into the current science of pain and how the core skills of self-management can reduce its impact on health and well-being. The second session (less pills) explores the role of pain medicines, potential harms and ways to reduce medicines using collaborative decision-making skills and tools.

Printed guides to offer the people you’re supporting

With the increased confidence and skills you’ll develop through the training, you’ll want to get to work encouraging your patients or clients to adopt a self-management approach to their persistent pain.
Live Well with Pain’s printed booklets are the ideal aid for practitioners to use in their consultations.
Based on the acclaimed ‘ten footsteps’ approach, they cover many of the main topics you’ll have learned in your training. There are guides on Pacing, Sleep, Goal Setting and even one that gives an overview of all Ten Footsteps.
Giving your patient or client a booklet to take away with them following a consultation is a simple but effective way to reinforce your self-management messages.
These professionally produced booklets can be ordered in short runs of as little as 50 copies. And because they are printed ‘on-demand’, they are not only cost-effective, they can be with you in as little as a week. So you can get started guiding your patients or clients on their self-management journey.
