Somerset Community Pain Management Service (SCPMS) have recently created some excellent short videos

As we know, chronic/persistent pain is extremely common, occurring in up to 1/3 of UK adults. The causes of pain are complex, requiring a biopsychosocial model – a whole person approach – and “skills not pills”. To help patients and clinicians manage pain better, Somerset Community Pain Management Service (SCPMS) have recently created some excellent short videos on their website on

• pain
• sleep
• stress/mindfulness
• pacing/fatigue

The videos are between 5-15mins. Although the videos focus on pain management, the information is also relevant to other long term conditions. The team have also added a patient story of living well with pain called “Christine’s story”. Do check out these resources as a learning tool for you/your team and also as a resource to signpost patients to.
