GOLD: Connect Health and NHS North East and North Cumbria ICB (also Tees Valley Sport Active Partnership, Teesside University and You’ve Got This, Sport England Local Delivery Pilot): Flippin’ The Way A Population Thinks About, Talks About, And Treats Chronic Pain - Tees Valley

This multi-agency project tackles the significant issue of chronic pain in the region by improving understanding and management of pain across the local population and healthcare systems.

Chronic pain is common (affecting 43 per cent of people in the North East) but widely misunderstood. Misunderstanding perpetuates poor outcomes by driving beliefs, behaviours, and healthcare usage grossly inconsistent with guideline-based care, say organisers.

In the project, partners co-create unique events and activities with local stakeholders including public seminars, workshops, and pop-ups to engage, educate, and empower public and health professional audiences with a modern understanding of pain science and management.
