Pain Management Solutions

Pain management clinics have traditionally been seen as the place to send patients as a last resort. However, Pain Management Solutions (PMS), an independent sector provider to the NHS are changing this. We see ourselves as a rehabilitation service as opposed to being just a palliative care service for long-term benign pain. Below is a list of key points :

We work closely with GPs and Commissioners to ensure that patients are referred earlier in the pathway
Patients are managed proactively with a clear discharge plan.
We communicate closely with both patients and their GPs and maintain a comprehensive management plan throughout the treatment process.
To achieve optimal outcomes we encourage self-management, rationalise medication and use interventions to support the potential for rehabilitation.
We encourage integration with established community services and aim to train GPwSIs in each area where we operate.
First appointments are within 3 weeks unless the patient specifies otherwise
Patients have rapid access to treatments and diagnostic tests and our referral to treatment time average is approximately 4 weeks.
