Pain: A textbook for health professionals 3ed
Pain: A textbook for health professionals provides a comprehensive guide to pain and pain management with a focus on interprofessional practice.
Written by internationally acclaimed authors and fully updated to reflect latest evidence and understanding, this book bridges the gap between theoretical underpinning and practice for assessment and management of patients with persistent pain – all in clear and accessible language.
