This module provides an introduction to pain in the context of dementia and aims to help health professionals recognise the links between the experience of pain and the presence of changed behaviour. In this module we explore some examples of how pain may be expressed and the challenges in assessing pain in a person living with dementia in a acute care setting. You will learn about the hierarchy of pain assessment techniques and the use of a number of pain assessment tools. We also unpack the relationship between pain and changed behaviour. This is module 6 in the 9 part module series: The View from Here: Skills in Dementia Care for Acute Settings
