Chronic Pain Management Course

Story from nhs.uk

"Chronic Pain Management Course"

About: Kettering General Hospital / Pain Management

3 weekly sessions offered to assist in Pain Management.

I attended this course and found it extremely helpful. The main function of the group sessions( 3 on the course l attended) was to discuss coping with pain strategies, explain what is pain, the stages of pain and how so many different factors can affect pain.

The two members of staff running the course were very welcoming, compassionate and arranged the setting to enable open and frank dialogue which in itself was very informative.

Allowing others to talk about their own pain with fellow sufferers was most beneficial.

We were provided with various handouts to take away.

All in all a great course which l would encourage anyone suffering with Chronic Pain to attend.
