People who live with chronic or persistent pain may be referred to a Persistent Pain Management Service. Often people may be referred
by their GP after trying various other treatments or therapies without success.
Persistent Pain Management Services are multidisciplinary. This means they include several different health professionals who work together in helping patients to manage their pain and its impacts on their life.
This team of experienced health professionals may include doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists and nurses.
Persistent Pain Management Services are not a 'cure' for pain. Instead they aim to help people gain the skills to better understand and self-manage their pain, and to improve function and quality of life.
