Following completion of the face to face pain management programme patient stated it was a positive experience and that it was not only a learning environment but a social environment. He said that the team of staff spent all morning over all the weeks with smiles on their faces and he really enjoyed everyone’s company

Following completion of the Supported Virtual Pain Management Programme patient said “I didn’t think this would help when we first started, I’ve done loads of courses before, but this has genuinely been great and has really made me think… its helped me more than I thought and ive been able to go out fishing for the first time in years which I didn’t think I would do again

- Supported Virtual Pain Management Programme Participant, September 2026

Its been amazing and it’s like I’m not alone anymore in my thoughts, feelings and pain levels. That has been a big eye opener and comfort to know I’m not alone.
