Dr Cathy Stannard in conversation with Rosie Phillips on the future of pain management

Leading expert Dr Cathy Stannard has endorsed DHI's approach to chronic pain management and our new toolkit

DHI has delivered a Pain Management Service across two South Gloucestershire Primary Care Networks since 2021. We have now launched our online Pain Management Toolkit, funded by The National Lottery, which helps people understand and manage their pain, and reduce reliance on medication, which often does not work and can even be harmful.

To mark the launch, Chief Executive Rosie Phillips spoke with leading pain specialist Dr Cathy Stannard, a long-standing supporter of our approach, about chronic pain, trauma and the future of pain management. Dr Stannard has also endorsed the toolkit. Watch the video below.

We're keen to work with public health teams, healthcare partners and community organisations to explore how the toolkit could support local prevention, health inequalities and wellbeing priorities. If you'd like to find out more, please email us.
