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-based pain management program combining group education, individual care coordination and a tailored plan of allied health therapy. The program supports individuals to better understand their chronic pain, and develop the skills to better manage their pain, and improve their quality of life. The program aims to provide an accessible local service and is available for people who are currently waiting for hospital-based pain management services.
