Show me where is a pain communication tool, to enable those with a verbal disability or inability to speak English, to convey the site of pain or discomfort to carers.
Use ‘Show me where’ regularly so it becomes a familiar and predictable routine, ensuring pain is reported early before symptoms increase, reducing stress and anxiety and helping provide a rapid examination.
In a clinical environment, visitors can use the tool to ask how a patient is feeling and report to medical staff if needed. Clinicians can also use the tool to explain where they would like to examine and gain consent.
