Post questions here!

Welcome everyone - I will be manning the chat in the background during the webinar if you need anything

Is that working?

Yes, thanks Louise.

yes

Yes, please increase your computer volume if required

Whew! Its tricky to know from this end

Thanks Louise, I'm finding it a bit quiet despite having volume up to 100%

All good! It works best when all other mics are muted to avoid feedback.

If it is possible to turn up the main sound that would be appreciated. Thanks. I have my computer on max too.

Is that a bit better?

yes

yes

yes much better

Love the picture board

Just a wee fast forward there team!

I really like the Who Am I Now picture board. Could be a great tool to use with clients

I interrupted Jo and we went off on a tangent - in the interests of time, Ive cut that bit out

Does anyone have anything they would like to put to the panel?

on that note, what does the panel think about a public anti stigma campaign?

Hi there!

Kia ora Deb, thank you, you make a powerful point that as clinicians we need to reflect on re vulnerability

Absolutely. Thanks Deb

Was just talking in a session today about how in NZ we hold up rugby players who play on with broken arms etc... would be great to see a more balanced view on what strength is.

I've always wondered if primary school health lessons need to include some "Explain Pain" type stuff...

I've been involved in some "comic explainer" work with Toby Morris (illustrator) around challenging ableism, that could be a useful tool within a campaign...?

yes!

I like that idea - but not trivialising it

I love the idea of having a peer-to-peer patient support group. I think anyone who goes through a pain journey has useful information to share and that they could use to help others.

Yes thank you Hazel, Natalie, Deb and Bronnie!

those approaches sound fantastic. thank you all very much for giving your time

Thanks - its been a pleasure
