Somerset Pain Management Service

Somerset Pain Management Service runs a network of pain management clinics, led by Dr. Alf Collins, as part of Taunton & Somerset NHS Foundation Trust. The clinics are set up to work closely with people who are living with ongoing pain to develop ways of managing and coping with the consequences of their condition.

Shared Decision Making - Encouraging patients to manage their own health by Dr Alf Collins, Consultant in Pain Medicine.

We have worked with the clinical team and patients through a co-design process to develop a suite of online tools and techniques that work to support and encourage people making lifestyle changes.

We aim to provide localised support communities for each clinic, introduced to the patients by Alf Collins and his team, but ultimately the ownership for engagement belongs to the patients themselves. Alongside this we provide an integrated range of self-management services to complement the clinic and ensure patients are provided with long-term, low cost support, so they can be engaged, involved and connected.

Our integrated self-management services are a unique and innovative approach to supporting people living with a long-term condition and if you wish to find out more please get in touch.
