NHS pain management services in North Central London
For millions of people in England, chronic pain is a daily reality. From back problems and arthritis to fibromyalgia, injuries, and the after-effects of surgery or cancer, pain can be a constant burden.
Living with chronic pain limits your ability to live and work, it can feel isolating and has a negative impact on people’s mental health.
People told Healthwatch England about long waits, cancelled appointments, poor aftercare, and feeling like they weren’t listened to. For some, there were multiple barriers and delays, and they heard from people who felt forced to pay for help or go without care.
