As a pain consultant, you work both at the pain outpatient clinic and within the acute pain service (APS) in the hospital. You guide patients with acute, chronic, and oncological pain and are involved in their treatment and guidance. Your work week is varied: one day you work in the outpatient clinic, the next day you conduct consultations in the hospital. You work alternatingly at the clinic and in the hospital. This combination ensures that you have a broad role and work with different patient groups.

• You conduct telephone consultations and evaluate your treatments.
• You guide patients in the titration of medication.
• You start and guide treatments such as TENS (You guide treatments with electrical impulses and ensure that patients know how to use them independently).
• You provide explanation and instruction so that patients can continue at home.
• You visit patients in various departments.
• You guide pain treatment after surgeries or in cases of complex medical conditions.
• You work closely with anesthesiologists, pain specialists, and nurses.

You see a broad and diverse patient group. Sometimes you guide people briefly, sometimes you are the final station in the trajectory. It is precisely then that the conversation about coping with pain also plays an important role. You work independently, but coordinate where necessary with the anesthesiologist or pain specialist on duty. You move through the entire hospital and have a lot of contact with different disciplines, from surgery and oncology to geriatrics and neurology.

You will be part of a team of 5 other pain consultants, in which everyone has their own way of working and works independently. At the same time, you are part of a team you can rely on and in which you support each other where necessary. You work in various locations within the hospital and at the outpatient clinic. No two days are the same: you often only know on the day itself which patients you will see and what will come your way.

Have you completed an MBO or in-service training in Nursing or Anesthesia, or obtained your HBO Nursing diploma before 2016? Then, according to the admission requirements of the HAN, you must follow the Pre-module for Nursing Continuing Education. The pre-module starts on March 30, 2027, and consists of six lesson days, spread from March through June.

Have you acquired the necessary knowledge and skills in another way? Then you can request an individual assessment at the HAN to see whether you must follow the pre-module.

Are you in doubt whether you meet the admission requirements? Then please contact the HAN via secretariaat.VDO-gezondheid@han.nl.
