Living well with persistent pain is a concept inspired by Pain Revolution in Australia.
As the leading independent community provider of healthcare services in UK, Connect Health would like to recognise the contributions of Australian Pain Scientist Professor Lorimer Moseley AO, which have directly led to substantial practice changes across our service delivery pathways associated with musculoskeletal care and chronic pain. Treatments developed by his research group have been integrated across our network of 20 out of 42 integrated care systems in the UK, which care for 400k patients per year. His pain education research has transformed our own pain education offerings, leading to a substantial improvement in pain-related outcomes and 50% reduction in treatment costs compared with traditional approaches.
Connect Health delivers services for patients living with “Persistent Pain” as part of broader MSK pathways or as standalone services, such as in Lincolnshire. Management of pain has been in need of a new way of thinking as too many people have become reliant on injections and strong opioid medication which have been shown to be ineffective in the medium and longer-term.
Collaborating with Professor Lorimer Moseley, an international expert on chronic pain and clinical scientist, we are applying the innovative Pain Revolution principles to help people with chronic pain in the UK for the first time.
