Understanding Pain

 

Pain does not occur in isolation; it is often influenced by various social factors. We recognise the importance of these elements in managing pain. Here, we have curated a list of essential resources that can provide support. 

From links to the Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) and ACAS for financial advice, to NICE guidelines for best practices, we aim to connect you with the right help. We also feature valuable insights from Money Saving Expert, retraining opportunities, and a selection of websites, apps, and books specifically focused on pain management advice, mental health, and physical therapy. Each resource is carefully categorised to make it easy for you to find exactly what you need.
