SUMMARY:Exploring Sex and Gender in Chronic Pain
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Sex and Gender in Chronic Pain  \nThis hybrid event will explore the critical issue of sex and gender in chronic pain\, inviting all genders to join the conversation. While chronic pain may affect individuals differently\, this event will outline what we now know about sex and gender as variables in chronic pain\, what impact the outcomes of the PAINDIFF network will have on the study of sex and gender in pain and how this may inform on diagnosis and treatment outcomes for everyone. \nWe will also look at the reality of in-person clinical experiences\, the importance of the patient voice in PPI Research and how to ensure this critical research is incorporated into health policy and services. \nOur event’s MC is none other than TV Presenter\, Producer and Author Andrea Hayes who will introduce you to our panel of speakers outlining the following topics: \nDeveloping guidelines and an agenda for research on sex and gender as a variable in differences in pain: The PAINIFF Network – Dr. Michelle Roche\, University of Galway \nWhat do we know about sex and gender differences in chronic pain? – Prof. Brian McGuire\, University of Galway \nWorking with sex and gender differences in pain: Experience from the clinic – Dr. Rosemary Keane\, Mater Misericordiae University Hospital Dublin \nThe important voice of those with lived experience in research activity – Ms Martina Phelan\, Chronic Pain Ireland \nEnsuring research really matters: Policy and service perspectives – Dr David Moore\, Consultant Pain Specialist\, Beaumont Hospital\, Clinical Lead\, Model of Care for Pain Management Services in Ireland \nQ&A / Concluding Remarks \nAs this is a hybrid event you can choose to attend either online or in-person. \nTo attend online via webinar select this registration link \nTo come along on the day\, meet our panel and our MC in-person at the Galway University Campus select this registration link \nThis event is organised by the School of Psychology\, University of Galway\, Physiology\, School of Medicine\, University of Galway\, Centre of Pain Research\, University of Galway\, Chronic Pain Ireland as part of the University of Galway PPI Ignite Network and PPI Ignite Festival. \nWe gratefully acknowledge the support of the PPI Ignite Festival. \n
