When a person comes to a chronic pain service, it's not all about medical or physio. It's also about the emotional impact of pain. Here in Wirral Chronic Pain Service we've been lucky enough to develop a non-medical space for people to meet with our psychologists or occupational therapists.
What a wonderful donation of artwork, chocolate and patient leaflets. We are lucky to have connections with @thebraincharity.bsky.social in our chronic pain service in Wirral!
What a wonderful week - finally getting some painting done to refresh the corridors and clinic rooms, and we've put up the artwork kindly donated by the local @thebraincharity.bsky.social

Our psychologist Jo shared some information about chronic pain to one of our PCNs, developing some important future work relationships along the way. Exciting to be alongside Wirral Ways who we are starting to collaborate with. 2025 continues to be fruitful!
Thanks Pete - unfortunately we won't have time amongst our clinical work. We will however keep an eye out on here and share what we can with patients. Hope it goes well!
Our psychologist Jo has been listening to this audiobook www.amazon.co.uk/Why-Does-Sti.... It explains pain well and underpins what we do in the pain management service. Free on the BorrowBox app with a Wirral library account (which is also free!). Also on Audible and as a real life book or kindle.
Pain Supported Self-Management (PSSM) Week: 3rd February to 8th February 2025 which myself and @keithmeldrum.bsky.social have planned.
Please use the slides below and we have posted and follow this link for straightforward yet impactful ideas to take part

We said goodbye to our rotational physiotherapist last week. Zoe might not miss those bullseyes but we will definitely miss her.
