This Chronic Pain Self-Management program is based around a new concept of Shared Medical Appointments (SMAs), where, over 7 sessions, you will develop new knowledge and skills in a group with others who want to better manage their pain. As part of the process you will also undertake an individual medical consultation with a doctor where everyone can listen and contribute to each other’s needs. It’s designed to utilise the benefits of peer support as well as medical advice and prescription. The list of sessions is below.
