Hi, I’m a clinical psychologist and I specialise in pain management. I worked for 18 years in a multidisciplinary pain clinic and now in a dental school still specialising in persistent pain. I have worked with a lot of people who have both pain and mental health problems and have often observed how current services and guidelines are not really…Read more

Hi everyone. I work for the National Osteoporosis Society. Better care and support for people with long-term chronic pain after vertebral fractures is a priority area for us in 2019. Vertebral fractures can have a profound impact on people’s lives affecting them in many ways, for example by changing their body shape, squashing their internal…Read more

Hi everyone! I’m a GP in London and a Quality Improvement Fellow with the NHSE Newly qualified GP programme. I’m hoping to do a project working with fibromyalgia patients to provide more joined up care between primary and secondary care and a more personalised approach to their care. I’m currently doing some scoping and plan to do some…Read more

Hi everyone!
We’re interested in considering whether we can develop a set of service principles for people living with mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain. The purpose of these principles is to carry the key points that we want people to keep in mind when designing or delivering a service. We have developed a set of draft p…Read more

Jo, The London Marathon has distracted me over the last couple of months. Our target seems to be people with mental health problems and persistent back and neck pain. My conversations have been with people that have back pain AND/OR neck pain that is having a small but increasing effect on their mental health. I did not talk to anyone that had all…Read more

Carried out my first interview with a person who has lived experience of chronic pain. I’m still blown away occasionally when I hear a patients story because for such a long time I thought it was just me living like this. The amount of things a person tries from passive to active measures and the way a person tries to navigate the ‘system’ to tr…Read more

I think it’s a good start. A lot of the information reflects my own or others experience. What I’d be interested in is some of the personal experiences of what good looks/feels like. Not necessarily in terms of actions but experiences. For example a positive experience may involve a clinician illustrating that they take your condition seriously by…Read more

Slightly late to the group, and unfortunately I didn’t see about the initial research sessions so I wasn’t able to join those. My background is having used mental health services for around 15 years and with recurrent severe back pain. I also work as a consultant with mental health services. This study has been the first time I’ve explored the two…Read more

I’m a long-time user of both mental health services and pain clinic services. I have fibromyalgia related to scoliosis in my spine and, more recently, CRPS in my feet following some minor surgery which has made my chronic pain problems much worse. For the last few years I’ve been working on an ad hoc basis with Health Education England in my…Read more

Hi Sarah
Not having much luck with these seminars. On the 11th I am manning an exhibition stand for Time to Change ( part of Mind) at the show-ground at Malvern.
Would it be possible please to send me an audio file recording of a seminar so I have an idea of what it’s all about.
Best regards
David

If people are happy for us to do so, we can then share this with you. In the meantime, I can share the slides from the webinar, so you can get an idea of the content. I…Read more

This really is an issue which can affect people throughout the life course. I’m keeping an open mind to how we can look at people’s changing support…Read more
