There are a few places available on the arthritis care challenging pain

30th October and 6th November from 1-30pm to 4-15pm. First come first
served.

I could get to the session on Tuesday 30th October at Blackpool, but can't make the one on Tuesday 6th November. I've got a pre-op appointment not only the same day but the same time!
I've had forms etc for a session in Preston that was cancelled so I've completed most of the paperwork.
2 questions: Is it worthwhile going to just one day of the course? Is it OK just to turn up?

To get most benefit from the course you need to attend both sessions.
If you feel one is better than none then apply to join the course.
Go to the northern area on the website and follow the leads.
There might be places still available.

Thanks Ichabod6. I think I'll give it a go.
See you next Tuesday...perhaps.

I've just been to the Challenging Pain workshop in Blackpool and found it very helpful. I'd certainly recommend it to anyone with arthritis or any other chronic pain. Well worth while. Many thanks to the trainers and the organisers.

That's the spirit, scribbler.
I think that challenging pain is one of the better
self management courses. It's relatively short and
to the point and gets you thinking.
Glad it worked for you.
