Ep 21: Emily Walker - Social determinants of health equity for people with pain: from understanding to action

On this episode, Em & I chatted through her recent paper 'Social determinants of health equity for people with pain: from understanding to action', which she led as a clinical update for the IASP global year in review for 2025.

Em walks us through what are the Social Determinants of Health, how these can impact ouctomes, a framework for clinicians and then lots of really interesting chat.

This is an excellent episode that will (hopefully) help you to slow down and reflect!
