Herefordshire Pain Management Service

Coming soon...the UK's newest countywide Pain Management Service, caring for patients across Herefordshire with acute and chronic pain conditions. Further information to follow...

@DoidgeFran @DrCSmall Cradley are covered by the Worcester Pain Management Service so it would be worth touching base with them.

@WVT_Pain @DrCSmall Do you have any out lying pain support groups for those in pain who cannot make it to Hereford? Do you have links with Cradley surgery?

Welcome to Herefordshire Pain Management Service…delivering individualised, compassionate care in hospital and the community. m.youtube.com/watch?v=yfmZ0Z…

@DoidgeFran @DrCSmall We’re based at Hereford County Hospital :)

@WVT_Pain @DrCSmall Where are you based exactly? I'm in Cradley

@mary_yoxall @mary_yoxall we’re so proud to have you on our team. Your ability to see things from patients’ perspectives and provide individualised care in a way that is relevant and accessible is make a huge difference to so many. You, @helenlovesdisco and @emmadavies21 are quite the force!

2) why does wearing a different colour uniform for the same role make such a different to the treatment you get… yes, I am a physio by background but we can do specialist roles too! honestly could not believe it 😂

1)Today was the 1st day wearing a navy blue tunic on the wards as a specialist practitioner and the level of respect I received from the medical staff was insane compared to doing the same role in my white physio uniform. They asked questions back and even asked what my name is!!

@mary_yoxall Really proud to have a member of our team supporting this event Mary!

One month to go! So excited to physio at #Birmingham2022 #commonwealthcollective #Commonwealthgames2022

@GASMakin @olliehart7 @NICEComms Patients being told they’re being referred to pain clinic for an opiate taper is an issue…optimising medicines doesn’t always mean reducing them and we certainly don’t do it till the patient is ready…but many won’t even step through the door if they’ve been told to expect this.

@flying_project What an amazing, powerful, humbling day. Thank you, you were an inspiration to all of us. And now the real work begins…

Penultimate planning day today for #TheSkylarkProject - a perioperative care pathway co-produced by @DrCSmall and #TheFlyingChildProject. Absolutely fantastic that #livedexperience will be behind this vital pathway for survivors. We meet in person in 2 days. Can’t wait! #CSA

#SkylarkProject planning day today. We are so excited to have this opportunity to introduce a trauma informed pathway for survivors, created BY survivors into a medical setting. Watch this space… so much more to come. ✊🏼 #CSA #METOO #traumainformed #TheFlyingChildProject

What a week! The team complete (for now) and another planning session for a really exciting venture with @flying_project @DrCSmall

@DrCSmall @mary_yoxall @emmadavies21 Our team are expanding! @wvtmd @PhysioWvt

@mary_yoxall @WVT_Pain We couldn’t be more excited to be having you and @emmadavies21 join us, what an amazing team!!

I am super excited to accept the role as a specialist pain practitioner with the amazing @WVT_Pain! Still in shock and can’t wait to start on a new adventure 🤓🥳 #painphysio #painmanagement

@GASMakin @FacultyPainMed Absolutely!! That’s what we call it @WVT_Pain A mixture of all sorts, including our lovely chronic/persistent pain patients coming to stay for a bit. Definitely not a single speciality job…lots of help from @PharmacyWvt @PhysioWvt @WVT_OT @StMichaelsHosp and lots more
