Description
The Pain Management Programme (PMP) at The Centre for Veterans Health at King Edward VII's Hospital is a group-based programme delivered by expert clinicians including a psychologist, nurse and physiotherapist who will share up to date information about pain science and offer practical strategies to help with pain management. The aim is to introduce a range of pain management strategies that are designed to help with the day-to-day management of pain and also, to provide an environment for veterans to share their experiences and gain support from other group members.
Individuals with persistent pain can often feel isolated and unsure of how to plan for the future. Addressing these issues and many others can help reduce the negative impact that pain can have. We believe that the involvement of a support network can be helpful for the success of any treatment. Therefore, family and friends are invited to attend one of the days scheduled halfway through the programme. We do not share anything that has been discussed on the PMP with family or friends, but the aim is to help family and friends understand more about persistent pain and to give information about what we do on the programme.
The programme is a ten day virtual programme run over nine months and delivered virtually on Zoom. The virtual Pain Management Programme delivers the same content as the previously run face-to-face programme, without the need for you to travel or stay in London
This is a free programme available to all veterans across the UK. Simply complete the referral form attached to get started.
