Pain is one of the most frequent reasons for consultation in primary care. Men and women have different responses to the same pain stimuli, making increased sensitivity to pain more prevalent in the female sex, as well as pathologies causing persistent pain. Currently, there is a considerable gender bias both socially and in the medical approach, labeling pain and pathologies directly associated with the female gender and often associated with pathologies in the psycho-psychiatric sphere, thus creating a great stigmatization of the female collective.

It is essential that Primary Care professionals become familiar with the new perspectives on addressing persistent pain, especially at the present time, in which it is necessary to take advantage of rapid social changes, the creation and development of new gender roles, the emergence of great sexual diversity and the growing fight for social inequalities in order to provide a more holistic and renewed view in their daily practice. The speakers at the event are recognised experts in the field described, representing the transdisciplinarity defended by the organising group, as well as people affected by pain.

People affected will have free access to the event, depending on capacity and arrival time.
