The abundance of self-help resources for patient living with pain can be a minefield for the occasional pain clinician. In an increasingly busy healthcare environment, where patient consultations are time limited, how can clinicians introduce and teach patients about the use of online self-management tools? This presentation provides a tour of selected free resources through the lens of a patient story and highlights how online resources for self-management can be integrated into the patient consultation.
