@DoidgeFran @DrCSmall Cradley are covered by the Worcester Pain Management Service so it would be worth touching base with them.

@mary_yoxall @mary_yoxall we’re so proud to have you on our team. Your ability to see things from patients’ perspectives and provide individualised care in a way that is relevant and accessible is make a huge difference to so many. You, @helenlovesdisco and @emmadavies21 are quite the force!

@GASMakin @olliehart7 @NICEComms Patients being told they’re being referred to pain clinic for an opiate taper is an issue…optimising medicines doesn’t always mean reducing them and we certainly don’t do it till the patient is ready…but many won’t even step through the door if they’ve been told to expect this.

@flying_project What an amazing, powerful, humbling day. Thank you, you were an inspiration to all of us.
And now the real work begins…

Penultimate planning day today for #TheSkylarkProject - a perioperative care pathway co-produced by @DrCSmall and #TheFlyingChildProject. Absolutely fantastic that #livedexperience will be behind this vital pathway for survivors. We meet in person in 2 days. Can’t wait!
