Many people suffering pain and discomfort are unable to tell anyone about their distress. They may have a permanent or temporary communication difficulty, or cannot speak English.
Show Me Where is a simple visual tool, which enable adults to convey the location of their pain or discomfort. They can then be given appropriate support and treatment.
“We use Show Me Where as part of the Pain Assessment and Management Toolkit for patients with communication difficulties in all clinical areas, and we endorse its value in clinical practice.”
