Living Well with Persistent Pain Program
When pain lasts longer than three months things need to change. A multi-disciplinary, evidence-based and collaborative primary care pain management program combining a group program and individual pain service assessments. The program supports individuals to better understand their chronic pain, equips them with the necessary tools to improve their quality of life and minimise the burden of pain on them, their families and the wider community. The program aims to provide an accessible local service but has a focus on people who are waiting for hospital-based pain management services.
