Connect Health expands its Pain and MSK operations as Pain Management Solutions (PMS) joins the group

Chronic Pain and MSK (musculoskeletal) community services provider PMS (Pain Management Solutions) joined the Connect Health Group in December 2020.

With Connect Health’s pedigree in community-based MSK, mental health and pain services combined with PMS’s pain management specialism, together these best-in-class organisations have created a powerful blend of expertise and innovation, benefitting patients, commissioners and colleagues alike.

Andrew Walton, Group Executive Director, Connect Health Group commented;

I am very pleased that PMS has joined Connect Health Group, blending our aligned culture and clinical philosophy. I have followed them for many years and admire what they do. I am really positive that together we can provide better outcomes for patients. The partnership will allow us to innovate even further, whilst preserving our values.

Pain Management Solutions (PMS) was founded in 2006 to develop and deliver innovative pain services for the benefit of NHS patients. The experienced healthcare professionals behind it shared a common interest in revolutionising pain management in the NHS, adopting a community-based response that would focus on early intervention before chronic pain has time to set in. That strategy, proven and refined over the years, continues today.
