Comprehensive Pain Management in Palliative and Supportive Care is an in-person course organised by the Continuing Medical Education Department at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre in Jeddah. It is scheduled for 11 November 2026, from 07:45 to 16:00, in the Main Auditorium on the fourth floor of KFSHRC – Jeddah. The activity addresses pain assessment and treatment across palliative care, supportive care, oncology and other clinical settings in which effective symptom control is central to patient comfort and quality of life.
The official educational overview brings together evidence-based approaches to pain assessment with pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment. Announced subjects include opioid switching, patient-controlled analgesia, radiation therapy, interventional procedures and medication safety. These are published areas of educational content, not an independently confirmed lecture-by-lecture timetable. The learning objective is to strengthen participants’ knowledge of pain assessment, safe analgesic use and individualised multidisciplinary management strategies.
The intended audience includes physicians, nurses and pharmacists involved in pain management, palliative and supportive care, oncology and symptom management. The invitation specifically includes colleagues in anaesthesiology, radiation oncology, haematology, paediatrics, emergency medicine, critical care, internal medicine, family medicine, neurology, rehabilitation, surgery and clinical pharmacy. The organiser also identifies nurses working in pain management, oncology, palliative care, paediatric nursing and anaesthesia, alongside pharmacists involved in oncology pharmacotherapy and other clinical specialties.
Attendance is advertised as free, but the official page now states “Fully Booked” and explicitly says registration is currently closed. Accordingly, there is no active registration offer or registration button on this listing. The portal’s December registration cutoff extends beyond the November event and is not used as an invitation to register. Any reopening would require a new organiser announcement.
The public page lists six CME hours but does not establish an explicit positive SCFHS approval. No SCFHS badge or verified credit total is claimed. The published programme consists of one course block; detailed session titles, individual timings, named faculty credentials, sponsoring companies and a programme PDF were not verified. Clear captures of the official landing page, educational overview and programme provide the supporting images, with the landing capture selected as the cover.
