We are super excited to welcome Dr Joshua Pate to Le Pub to talk about childhood pain. Childhood pain affects everyone, whether in your capacity as a clinician or as a parent, no one can escape its impact on children and the adults they become.

Josh will be talking about

• How a child conceptualises pain, and what influences their concept of pain
• How a child’s concept of pain can be assessed, and how it can be targeted using the Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI) with pain science education
• Results of a Single Case Experimental Design (SCED) study of children reading a sham and ‘real’ educational book
• An introduction to new resources – children’s books, audiobooks, online platforms

Josh's PhD focused on how to assess the way that a child thinks about pain. In recent years, Joshua has been working as a university academic at UTS (Australia). Josh’s research is now heading into schools. He has a series of children’s books coming out soon, each covers a key idea about the science of pain.

Millions have seen his TED-Ed online animations about pain: https://www.ted.com/talks/joshua_w_pate_the_mysterious_science_of_pain?language=en

Recently he ran a Single Case Experimental Design (SCED) study, where children read sham and ‘real’ books about the science of pain.

Josh can’t wait to share his recent findings with you!

Dr. Joshua Pate

Joshua W. Pate, PhD, is a physiotherapy lecturer, a senior physiotherapist, and soon-to-be pain science children’s book author. His research focuses on a child’s concept of pain; how pain’s definition/purposes/mechanisms are understood. Josh is fascinated by how re-conceptualizing pain according to contemporary science may change how pain is treated. As part of his PhD he developed the Concept of Pain Inventory (COPI) and he is now working on developing and testing educational resources. Josh worked with TED-Ed to make two online animations with millions of views, he co-founded a pain science interview platform (‘One Thing’), and he is now working with a publisher and illustrator on a series of children’s books each targeting a particular learning outcome for pain science education. Josh is on the Scientific Program Committee for the Australian Pain Society and he has been an invited speaker at several international scientific conferences. He dreams of generational conceptual and behaviour change regarding the complexity of pain.
