The Pain Clinic was founded by a Consultant Anaesthetist, who is also a Pain Specialist and by a Consultant Nurse who specialises in all areas of pain management. Between them they have over 30 years of experience in this field and are dedicated to providing excellent care to patients and their families. They are both fully involved with The Pain Clinic.

The Pain Clinic’s team also includes other qualified professionals who are determined that the treatment and control of pain should be high on the agenda of Health Care Professionals and both National and Local Government.

The team is made up of:

Consultant Doctors
Consultant Nurse
Nurses
Physiotherapists
Pharmacists
Psychotherapists
Counsellors
Complementary Therapists, with nursing backgrounds
Paramedics

The founders have worked in the National Health Service and the Private sector and have wealth of practical and academic experience together with in-depth knowledge of acute and chronic pain. Their philosophy is to be receptive to conventional treatments as well as emerging technologies and they also believe that complementary therapies can help many people in pain. The Founders’ experience has demonstrated that many patients respond differently to identical treatments and medications. The close relationship between the Pain Clinic Team and its' patients has been shown to be therapeutic and condusive to a more satisfactory outcome.

“We believe that the relief of pain should be a fundamental objective of any health service.”
