Great new resource for chronic pain. And brilliant to see pain in children integrated into it too!
And fantastic to see the @campainstudy Pain Navigator resources referenced https://t.co/jFHuKhXcaY #KeeleMSK

Welcome to the Pain Navigator website!
Based on research and input from children & young people, we created a resource to support aged 8-18 year olds in managing their pain and their feelings about it & taking the mystery away from using primary care.
