Great few short tweets explaining the types of pain we see amongst our patients. You can have one or all of these!

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

We might steal this idea for our tree next year…..if only half our team weren’t camera shy!

Christmas has arrived at the pain service! Thanks to Mel our therapies assistant for getting us all in the festive mood.

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

Here in the chronic pain service we think of everyday as world kindness day. But today we’ll be extra kind!

[WUTH Staff @WUTHstaff]

Happy #WorldKindnessDay! 🌟 #WUTHKindness #SpreadKindness

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

And more improvements, helping people find where their appointment is (as were across two corridors). Please check your letter for information about who you are seeing, and consult the board when no clerk in the cubby hole!

Busy day yesterday making more improvements to our clinical environment. We spent some of our non-clinical time getting the pain clinic waiting room moved and spruced up. Blu-tack under our nails for days! @WUTHnhs @WUTH_Therapies

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

It was great to have @WirralWays_CGL visit us today. A great presentation, interesting discussions and future planning working together to support people with chronic pain in navigating their medication options.

Elm house is never a boring place to work. We need to name the bunny that took up residence outside our window last week!

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

Please please please have your say on this. It takes about 20 mins - grab a cuppa and get your voice heard. We need those with chronic pain represented.

[Wes Streeting @wesstreeting]

Our NHS is broken, but not beaten.

We want your help to fix it.

Today the Prime Minister and I are launching the biggest consultation in NHS history!

Calling all patients, staff and partners - share your views and experiences for our 10 Year Plan 👇🏻

Cath, our occupational therapist, has spent today networking and learning about all the recent evidence for what works in chronic pain. As our service is constantly evolving this will only help further develop what we offer patients!

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

A member of our chronic pain team is raising money for @wuthcharity tomorrow by running the #wirral10k. Check out her video on YouTube: https://t.co/OywB9PiaKs

And here’s another good podcast on the intersectionality of neurodivergence and pain. Sound quality is a struggle at times but it’s worth a listen if this is something you identify with https://t.co/i3DKZ0nRfp

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

Great chronic pain podcast. They don’t mention NHS pain services so it’s a bit “why don’t people in pain get this help”. They do! But loads of great information to support what we do here at Wirral chronic pain service https://t.co/tLcL8YsADW @drchatterjeeuk @WUTH_Therapies

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

This is what we aim to impart on people on our pain management programmes. All emotions are valid and are there to protect us. Give them some time and space to be there.

[Burning Nights CRPS @BNightsCRPS]

Thought of the day
You don't always have to be positive with CRPS. It's okay to feel angry, sad, frustrated or scared these are normal valid feelings.

@WUTHImprovement Ah no we can’t - it’s USB only with no access for internet. Will look to put our YouTube videos on the USB stick though, good idea!

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

This might have taken longer than anyone could have anticipated but we finally have a use for our screen in the waiting room. We can’t get regular TV on it but will take suggestions on anything else we can put on here!

[Wirral Chronic Pain Service @WirralCPS]

Worth a listen (maybe in a few chunks if you’re pacing your cognitive energy!).

[Dr Rangan Chatterjee @drchatterjeeuk]

You simply cannot separate psychology from physiology. This ‘practised separation’ is one of reasons the health professions sometimes struggle to help people with chronic pain - and, many other conditions.

It’s a new season, and in this brand new episode of my podcast ‘Feel Better, Live More,’ my guest @PeteOSullivanPT and I had a fascinating conversation about pain management in our healthcare system and how physiology and psychology are fundamentally intertwined.

Peter highlights the important role that emotions and psychology play in managing and treating pain, rather the often purely mechanical approach that is often taken by some clinicians.

Listen to our conversation in full here https://t.co/JfO7GKZEJv or enjoy wherever you get your podcasts.
