Map of Medicine – Applying the PAIN approach to problem solving

Dr Paul Hopper, Clinical Director for Older People’s Mental Health, Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust, discusses the role of the PAIN approach in solving problems posed by the behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia.

This is one of a series of podcasts being created by Wessex HIEC to complement local Map of Medicine pathways. These pathways support GPs with appropriate guidance and timely management, investigations and referral of patients presenting in primary care with a range of conditions. The podcasts highlight key learning points around diagnosis and management.
