The pain service works in collaboration with the integrated community pain management team which consists of specialist MSK team, highly specialised psychologists and pharmacist and provides a comprehensive pain management programme and medicine/opioid optimisation clinics.
The chronic pain service is well established and has continued to expand over the years. There has been a steady increase in the number of referrals each year; the current average being 1400 new patients referred to the service. There are on average 8 outpatient clinics and 3 day case theatre sessions per week between the five Consultants in addition to a number of nurse-led review clinics per week.

The Pain Management Nurses also hold regular TENS Clinics, acupuncture and pain management programme sessions.
Monthly MDT meetings are held with attendance from healthcare professionals from secondary care pain service and community pain management service.

We want our organisation to be the best place to work with the right staff, in the right roles, at the right time, to ensure we deliver exceptional patient care and experience.
We will support staff through providing an inclusive and supportive workplace with health and well-being initiatives, staff benefits and opportunities for personal and professional development. Staff recognition is very important to us; as well as performance reviews and appraisals, we recognise staff through Star and Team of the month, colleague recognition – a note of thanks, Managers Awards, Shining Stars and Service Awards.
We support the Making Every Contact Count approach to behaviour change in the promotion of health and wellbeing of individuals and communities.
We recruit for values and “Together we are North Tees & Hartlepool”
