Welcome to Leeds Community Pain Service

We specialise in managing persistent pain and deliver pain management support tailored to each person’s individual needs.

The main focus of our service is to improve the quality of your life while living with pain.

We are a self management service

What is self management?

Self-management focuses on increasing your knowledge and skills to manage your own health

Evidence shows that when people play an active role in their pain management, with support, they can improve their quality of life living with pain.

Chronic pain can have a big impact on all aspects of your life, including your physical, emotional and mental health as well as relationships, work, sleep, weight, finances and confidence. Each of these factors can negatively affect the pain which is why self-management doesn’t just focus on the physical effects of pain but also the psychological and social aspects.

You are the key. We will teach you the strategies to help manage your pain better, and support you to implement these strategies.

Your appointment

Your journey with Leeds community Pain Service starts with a telephone appointment. This will introduce you to the service and start the assessment process.

After an initial telephone contact, you will be offered our Living a better life with pain group (either face to face or online)

After attending the Living a better life with pain group you will be offered a one to one appointment to discuss your pain management plan (face to face or by telephone depending on your preference).

Don’t worry if you are unable to attend our group, you will be offered a one-to-one appointment instead.

Who will you meet during your appointments?

The Community Pain Service team includes a range of specialist NHS healthcare professionals; these include healthcare trainers, nurses, mental health nurse, occupational therapist and physiotherapists who work in community settings across Leeds.

You can find out more about virtual appointments on our virtual appointment page
