About Pain Talk.


Pain Talk is the national discussion forum and community for UK Healthcare Professionals with an interest in acute, chronic, or palliative, Pain Management. It is run by health care workers, on a 'not-for-profit' basis, and provides an on-line venue where individuals can share their experiences, ask questions, request help, publicise events, etc.

Pain Talk's work has been highlighted as a prime example of a successful on-line specialist community by a number of respected sources (including: The Journal of Visual Communication in Medicine, Oxford University, and the Royal College of Nursing)

Pain Talk has promoted on-going communication and information sharing amongst a wide range of individuals, many of whom work in comparative isolation from others performing similar roles in both the National Health Service, and the private sector.
