Action on Pain

Painline:  0345 603 1593 

www.action-on-pain.co.uk 

Action on Pain was formed in 1998 with the aims of providing support and advice for people who are affected by chronic pain. Run entirely by volunteers many of whom either have or are affected by chronic pain we promote the positive side of living with chronic pain. Our friendly "down to earth" approach is appreciated by many which has helped the charity become a major national and international organisation which still retains the "simple and informal" approach to helping people. 

The British Pain Society

It endeavours to increase both professional and public awareness of the prevalence of pain and the facilities that are available for its management. The Society is involved in all aspects of pain and its management through the work of the Council, various Committees, Special Interest Groups and Working Parties and via its publications, Annual Scientific Meeting and educational seminars.

Help & Advice leaflets

Chronic pain has been called an invisible condition. Although often devastating to the millions who have it and being one of the biggest causes of disability in the UK, to others it cannot be seen.  By increasing society’s awareness of disabling chronic pain, campaigning for the fair treatment of people with chronic pain and investing in research and support that people need, we believe we can enable people with chronic pain to live active and fulfilling lives.

Pain Association Scotland

www.painassociation.co.uk 

The Association is unique in having pioneered the development and delivery of self-management training for those burdened with Chronic Pain.  Its courses are designed specifically to target those in the community who are affected by Long Term (Chronic Painful) Conditions.  The Association’s overall aim is to improve the quality of life for chronic pain sufferers by supporting and empowering them to live independently in the community.  The focus is therefore on introducing people to, and quickly building, self-management skills, thereby creating practical, positive change leading to an improved quality of life and well-being.

The Pain Toolkit

www.paintoolkit.org 

A persistent pain problem can be difficult to understand and manage on an everyday basis.  The Pain Toolkit is a simple information booklet that could provide you with some handy tips and skills to support you along the way to managing your pain.  It is not meant to be the last word in pain self-management but a handy guide to help you get started - all you need to be is willing to read it and take on board some of the suggestions.
