How have we improved the experience of patients?

Over the last year one area of the service that has undergone rapid change is the Persistent Pain team. 

This transformation is the culmination of 5 years of working across providers, partners and systems to bring together a truly integrated offering for patients. 

Karen Cox, Pain and Rheumatology Lead and Dr. Claire Elphick, Pain Psychology Lead, share a brief summary of all that has happened over the last year. 

This work has changed the way that we have conversations about pain and for patients means that physical and mental health are supported equally.

They also took time to individually reflect on why this change is so important.  You can find their blogs here:
