FPMLearning is the learning platform for the Faculty of Pain Medicine and is an open resource for all doctors working or training in pain medicine. It provides access to a variety of educational materials to support training and continued professional development.

The platform brings together a range of resources, including clinical case reports, recommended reading material, webinars, podcasts and updated exam resources. FPMLearning provides links to high-quality external learning materials, as well as signposting to relevant educational resources from within the FPM itself.

A new case report is published monthly, and the series aims to cover a variety of topics relevant to a range of pain-medicine clinical practice. These interesting cases aim to generate discussion, and the readers are posed with questions to encourage thinking. There are monthly recommended reading resources relevant to the topic presented in the clinical cases, which cover a variety of multidisciplinary aspects of pain medicine. We hope that some of the suggestions may inspire the reader to discover something new across the broad field of pain medicine.

There are several developments on the horizon, including a ‘Radiology in Pain Medicine Corner’ and a section on relevant national pain-guidelines, which will be launched soon. We hope to add content relating to interventional pain medicine in the near future. In addition, we are looking to improve the accessibility and searchability of the content on FPMLearning, with improved archiving capabilities for ease of access to the expanding educational material available.

We have a growing list of contributors who write the monthly case reports, and we have recently launched a case competition, open to all those working in or with an interest in pain medicine. The judges will consider relevance, originality, interest, and quality of writing. If you have any suggestions to help us further develop the platform, or if you wish to contribute in any way, please contact us.
