Chronic pain is pain that can come on gradually and lasts longer than three months. It is treated with a multidisciplinary holistic approach and techniques. Find out more about our service.

Visiting update

To protect our patients, staff, visitors and the community, we are again restricting visitors to all our hospitals sites so please read our latest guidance for full details before coming to our hospitals.

The decision to restrict visitors during this time has been very difficult and made only after careful consideration as we witness wider social restrictions to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in light of the highly transmissible OMICRON variant. The guidance will be reviewed regularly.
