Launch of Pain UK organisation and website
FMA UK are proud to be one of the inaugural partners of PAIN UK. A number of organisations have come together to form an alliance providing a voice for people living with pain. Our aim is to improve the quality of life for people living with pain in the UK.
Pain UK's aims are :
- To provide a collective voice for people living with pain and to raise awareness of the burden of pain on individuals and society
- To ensure that people with pain are at the centre of all initiatives on pain treatment and management and are empowered to self manage
- To promote the assessment, recording and treatment of pain as a routine part of every relevant patient contact along with the collection of patient outcome data
- To encourage the provision of adequate training on pain assessment and treatment, being included in the education of all health professionals
- To work to ensure that people with pain have equal and early access to assessment, information, support and effective treatment/management services
The new and developing website can be found here.
