Pain Service
Our community pain teams are made up of pain consultants, specialist physiotherapists, clinical psychologists, nurse specialists, occupational therapists, CBT therapists, GP’s and pharmacists. Everyone specialises in persistent pain and works closely as a team to support people living with pain. Our team will help you find ways to manage your pain and lead a better quality of life. They can help you start doing more of what matters to you without making the pain worse and to manage flare-ups. The team can also support you with the emotional impact of living with pain.
As well as one to one support from our team of experts as named above, we offer pain management programmes, medication reviews, and evidence-based injection interventions if appropriate.
