Historically, it has been a challenge to recruit psychologists to work within interdisciplinary pain services. The current shortage of qualified clinical psychologists across the UK has further exacerbated this problem. The purpose of this webinar is therefore to raise the profile of pain amongst prospective trainee psychologists, and trainee and qualified psychologists by answering two questions:
- Why work as a clinical psychologist in the field of pain?
- What does it involve?
