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.

What participants said about our training
“It gave me everything I needed and more”
“Well structured, good multidisciplinary interaction”
“It gave me an up-to-date overall view of where the NHS wishes to go regarding pain management”
“The resources were superb. I also didn’t realise there would be expert patients which I think was very insightful and helpful. I appreciate the time that went into delivery of this course and also hearing the thoughts from the various clinicians who attended. I think the 10 footstpes in themselves are brilliant and very holistic.”
“Really enjoyed the contribution from lived experience trainers”
“It was well formatted, paced and provided lots of resources, as well as chance to learn from others.”
“I received the support I was looking for, to enable me to support my patients”
