The fifth King’s Health Partners Primary Care Webinar of 2024 is titled 'Traditional medicine has failed people with chronic pain; PEACS a new approach'.

Pain: Equality of Care and Support in the Community (PEACS)

PEACS is a pathway that aims to support patients living with chronic pain, using a lifestyle medicine approach. PEACS has a particular focus on supporting patients from black backgrounds because the prevalence of chronic pain in the black community in Lambeth is significantly higher, especially among black women. This webinar explores how a pain service can be co-designed with local communities to address health inequalities and improve patient experience/quality of life and health outcomes.

The webinar will be chaired by Dr Rachna Chowla, Joint Director of Clinical Strategy, King's Health Partners.

Confirmed speakers:

• Misha Gardner, Project Manager, Mind & Body Programme
• Dr Sarfraz Jeraj, Clinical Psychologist

Book your place via Ticket Tailor.

Designed by KHP Women and Children's Health, and KHP Diabetes, Endocrinology & Obesity, this session won’t teach everything about diabetes, but it will help professionals learn how to deal with diabetic emergencies that they might encounter on the ward, as well as principles of providing high quality care for pregnant women with diabetes.

Pregnant women with diabetes cross a wide range of healthcare providers so it's important everyone has some awareness about diabetes in pregnancy. We designed the bite-sized teaching session to benefit a wide audience. The session supports students by providing a step towards being part of the medical setting while studying. It benefits all professionals who are curious about diabetes in pregnancy. It will provide up to date knowledge for GPs, midwives, sonographers, nurses, and doctors to become more confident in their practice, because wherever you work in healthcare, there is a lot to be gained by learning about Women's Health.
