About this listen

 Glyn and Konrad have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with, being taught by and having access to the academic output of many talented and interesting individuals working within, and outside, the speciality. In the podcasts we want to have informal conversations with many varied and diverse individuals who have, and continue to, shape, develop and lead the field. We also hope to discuss chronic pain with patients and their parents, as well as clinicians working with them. We want them to help us explain the many different aspects that contribute to this complex presentation of pain that we all see. In addition we will see if we can get to know them a bit, what makes them tick and how their experiences have shaped them.

    Pilot episode - What a Pain
    May 7 2023

    In this pilot episode we will be discussing why we started doing this podcast. We will also have a discussion with Dr Alison Bliss, consultant paediatric anaesthetist at Leeds General Hospital and lead for the paediatric pain management service in Leeds. We had a fascinating discussion about her journey into pain, her service, barbecues on fire, and complex patients. Glyn and Konrad also found themselves flummoxed by the problem of pocket-less trousers!

  • The role of physiotherapy and occupational therapy in pain management - PART 1

    The role of physiotherapy and occupational therapy in pain management - PART 1
    Jun 16 2023
    In this episode, Glyn and Konrad talk to Julia Smith, specialist physiotherapist, and Anne Marie van Es, specialist occupational therapist. Both of them work at the Oxford Centre for Children and Young People in Pain (OXCYPP). They discuss how they perceive their roles within a pain management programme, how it differs from the way they were trained and from the way OTs and PTs in other areas may work. They also give advice to OTs and PTs who work with pain patients but not within the context of a pain management programme. Julia and Anne Marie tell us their favourite place on earth, their pet hates, and who they admire in the pain world. Anne Marie also reveals why she was nearly thrown out of the cinema!
