What our pain management service offers

You will be offered an appointment at your nearest hospital or the one with the shortest waiting list. A couple of questionnaires will be enclosed with your appointment letter to complete before attending. Please complete these as near to your appointment as you can and bring them with you.

There are no right or wrong answers but your answers assist the team in assessing your pain and how it affects you. Please bring a list of your current medication to your appointment.

The outpatient assessment clinics are run by the Persistent Pain multi-disciplinary team usually comprising of:

• The Consultant in Pain Management and Anaesthesia
• Pain Nurse Specialist
• Orthopaedic Physiotherapy Specialist
• Psychologist

Any member of the team may assess you. Sometimes you may be seen by more than one professional. You may need to be examined depending on your pain problem so please bring a pair of shorts or wear suitable clothing.

During your appointment:

• We will spend time listening to you to gather an understanding how the pain is affecting you
• Listen to how you have tried to manage your pain so far
• Help you begin to develop a plan that may help with goals that are important to you
• We will discuss which management option(s) will be helpful in your case and together we will agree a Pain Management plan for you and/or your GP to follow together.
