New Chronic Pain Knowledge Hub
We’re excited to share the launch of the Chronic Pain Knowledge Hub, a new resource from NHS Education for Scotland. This hub has been developed in partnership with the National Pain Education Group, of which Pain Concern is a member.
What is the Hub?
The Hub was created as part of the Scottish Government’s Pain Management service delivery. It offers a wealth of resources, including the Interactive Chronic Pain Toolkit and a series of training modules. This ‘one-stop shop’ equips all NHS and Partnership staff with practical tools to develop their knowledge and skills in chronic pain management.
Why do we need the Hub?
Chronic pain affects 38% of adults in Scotland. Also, it often coexists with other long-term health conditions, impacting many aspects of daily life and overall health. Consequently, most frontline NHS and partnership staff will encounter individuals affected by chronic pain in their day-to-day work. Unquestionably, the Hub, including the new modules, provides a valuable resource for colleagues across health and social care and the third sector.
Visit the Hub
