Women’s Pain: from research bias to better clinical care
Overview
The objective of this workshop is to explore the history of women’s pain in research and care, and gain strategies to
empower female clients with persistent pain.

Women’s health and experiences of pain have long been shaped by gaps and biases in medical research and clinical practice. Historically, women were excluded from clinical trials often due to assumptions that hormonal fluctuations would invalidate research findings. Consequently medical evidence has predominantly been derived from studies of men. This exclusion has meant crucial differences in biological, social and psychological experience have been ignored. There are ongoing misunderstandings, inadequacies and risks in how women’s pain is assessed and treated today.

In this interactive webinar, we will combine teaching and discussion to highlight the implications for providing equitable care. We will consider both physical and psychological approaches to managing pain, equipping participants with current evidence and practical strategies to reduce inequities and improve outcomes for women.

Presenters
Dr Philippa Frances and Dr Anne Daly

Philippa is a Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Lead on WorkSafe Victoria’s Clinical Panel.  She has over 30 years’ experience in public and community health and private practice. She has a special interest in supporting people living with pain and complex medical conditions to engage fully in life, with a particular focus on women, who are disproportionately represented in this cohort and often experience dismissal, disbelief, or marginalisation when seeking treatment. Philippa frequently collaborates with Dr Anne Daly to provide holistic care for people from diverse and intersectional backgrounds. She has developed and delivered
workshops for both individuals and groups, including professional development training for clinicians and patients.
