Chronic pain and the symptom cycle
Join Dr. Francesco Mulé on Wednesday, December 19th for what promises to be another great Northumberland PACE community conversation!
This month’s PACE talk will take place at the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, 99 Toronto Road, Port Hope, on Wednesday, December 19th with guest speaker Dr. Francesco Mulé at the podium.
Dr. Mulé is Head of Service, Palliative Care and Chronic Pain Management and Medical Quality Advisor at Northumberland Hills Hospital and he has been invited to discuss a topic he helps local patients and their families with every day: “Chronic Pain and the Symptom Cycle.” A broad ranging talk on pain and pain management, Dr. Mulé will also discuss the other challenges pain can bring on, coping mechanisms and a concept he refers to as ‘catastrophizing.’ His talk will not only be of interest to those who suffer from chronic pain, but also to those who support friends and family members coping with chronic pain.
The Northumberland PACE talks are free, monthly public education sessions on a broad range of health and wellness topics, and they continue to draw large groups of community members with a range of questions and perspectives.
Lasting an hour in length, each PACE event consists of a 30-minute talk, a 20-minute questionand-answer period with the guest speaker and a 10-minute moderator summary. PACE talks start at 5:30 PM on the third Wednesday of each month, and rotate between Cobourg (at NHH, 1000 DePalma Drive) and Port Hope (at the Community Health Centres of Northumberland, 99 Toronto Road).
Bring your questions, your suggestions and your experience and join in what is expected to be another lively discussion.
Reminder – this and all PACE talks are free, but pre-registration is required to manage room capacity. Registration for Dr. Mule’s December 2018 session is now open at www.pacetalks.com, where you’ll also find a listing of the upcoming speaker and topic line-up along with video highlights from recent talks.
Next up for PACE? A conversation about the Science of Happiness, with Dr. Mukesh Bhargava, on January 16, 2019, at NHH. Registration for the January session will open next week.
