  • Recommendations from the British Pain Society the British Pain
    Recommendations from The British Pain Society The British Pain Society has been contacted by several of its members for some guidance with regards to the running of Pain Clinics and Pain Interventional Lists in light of Covid-19 pandemic. A large proportion of pain doctors are anaesthetists who are still doing anaesthetic sessions and those who are doing full-time pain medicine and have an anaesthetic background are still better skilled in managing acute emergencies than the average doctor and allied healthcare professionals. These skills and expertise are vital in supporting our colleagues in intensive care and acute medicine who are at the frontline in caring for seriously ill patients with Covid-19 and we are prepared to be redeployed wherever we are needed. We are committed to put aside our routine clinical work to deal with a situation which is turning out to be a global emergency that needs to be tackled without compromise. It is our responsibility to look after our patients as well as ourselves in these exceptional circumstances. The British Pain Society is making the following recommendations so that we are prepared to deal with the pandemic and also ensuring that our patients are not inconvenienced. Please discuss with the relevant authorities at your respective hospitals and NHS Trusts to accommodate and adapt this to local needs and strategies. Routine clinics may be cancelled and no face-to-face appointments are to be carried out except for urgent cases, specifically: people with CRPS; acute prolapsed disc and cancer. Any patient visiting the Pain Clinic should be screened via telephone to rule out potential risk.

This document also defines the facilities required in order to safely carry out these procedures. This document however, does not serve as critical analyses of published evidence. Interventional procedures are used widely to investigate and treat pain, caused by structures in and around the spine and other parts of the body. These procedures should not be undertaken in isolation and should include the support, guidance and decision making of an interdisciplinary team. Furthermore, these procedures should be undertaken in conjunction with rehabilitative interventions designed to reduce disability and enhance maximum improvement in quality of life.1 The BPS and the FPMRCA recognise that clinicians from other medical disciplines perform spinal interventions.

  • Core Standards for Pain Management Services in the UK
    CSPMS Core Standards for Pain Management Services in the UK October 2015 CSPMS UK Edition 1/2015 Preface Preface Dr Kate Grady, Dean Pain affects all of us on occasion, but thankfully can be controlled or abates over a short period of time. For some, pain is ongoing to the degree of becoming persistent and for many is it significant. An estimated 14 million people in the UK live with chronic pain. The effects can be far reaching; quality of life is known to be as bad as that with a significant neurological illness such as Parkinson’s disease. A reported 41% of people who attend pain management clinics state that their pain has prevented them from working. Startlingly, severe chronic pain is associated with an increased risk of mortality, independent of socio-demographic factors. Persistent pain also affects family and carers. Pain therefore is a frequently presenting complaint across a wide range of health care settings. It presents to primary and community care and specialist (secondary) and specialised (tertiary). For most, their pain is treated, managed or resolved within the primary care and community setting. The pain management of those for whom this does not happen must be scaled up, which means referral to more specialised care. This referral should be timely; persistent pain does not go away but develops and accelerates over time through well recognised neurophysiological processes. The Faculty of Pain Medicine has previously contributed to the Royal College of Anaesthetists Guidelines for the Provision of Anaesthetic Services (GPAS) and detailed best practice for Anaesthetists involved in Pain Management Services.

This was a response to the perceived need for information and guidance for those involved in developing and running such biopsychosocial interventions. This third revision aims to provide updated guidance on what constitutes a pain management programme (PMP), its position within care pathways for people with chronic (non-cancer) pain and desirable content. A key evolution of the document is to apply current standards of evidence-based practice to the guidelines by applying a rigorous, explicit approach. The document complements other British Pain Society initiatives such as the Map of Medicine and Pain Patients Pathway which helps to define care pathways as a whole.

    GREEN WAYS TO HEALTH Case Study – Royal Edinburgh Hospital nature.scot GREEN WAYS TO HEALTH ROYAL EDINBURGH HOSPITAL CASE STUDY ‘It’s good for patients to have The GREEN EXERCISE PARTNERSHIP is something on the ward that’s a joint venture between Forestry Commission different from their daily routine’ Scotland, Scottish Natural Heritage, NHS National Services Scotland and Health Chirlene Hall, Staff Nurse Scotland (the health improvement board of the National Health Service in Scotland). The Partnership aims to build links between the health and environment sectors, following growing evidence that public health can be improved by getting people engaged with the natural environment. Through its Greening the NHS Estate programme, the Partnership aims to establish at least one project in each of the eleven mainland Area Health Boards to show the health benefits that flow from positive investment in and management of the NHS estate – the greenspace around hospitals and healthcare centres. Public events give the garden a place in the local community. ROYAL EDINBURGH HOSPITAL The Royal Edinburgh Hospital is the main mental health hospital for the Lothian area. It occupies a large site in Morningside, in the south of the city, and includes units specialising in dementia care, learning disability, and addiction. There are over 500 in-patient beds. The original hospital opened in 1813, funded largely through donations that followed the death of the poet Robert Fergusson. A contemporary of Robbie Burns, Fergusson died at the age of 24 after a period of severe mental ill-health, during which he was confined in the city’s asylum.

  • Astley Ainslie Hospital 1
    Astley Ainslie Hospital Community Consultation Disposal Commitment Introduction The Astley Ainslie Hospital has now been declared surplus to NHS Lothian clinical strategy requirements. Services are being relocated as part of the closure process, the majority most within the nearby Royal Edinburgh Hospital campus. As part of the process of disposing of surplus assets NHS Lothian is committing to engaging with all key stakeholders, including the general public, MSP's Councilors, CEC planning department, Historic Environment Scotland and other interest groups to collate ideas and issues that are of importance to the community. Purpose of document With service re-provision still at the planning stage there is a substantial period available for community engagement prior to any disposal route being implemented. Meetings have already been held with local Community Council representatives, MSP's and the general public. The purpose of this document is to confirm NHS Lothian’s commitment to on-going engagement and to suggest a plan for the nature of this engagement and the documentation that will demonstrate the prioritised outcomes which will inform a disposal. This information will be used to create the criteria which all parties will use to establish the re-use of the land and buildings. It will form the basis of a document creating the most important development parameters for the site. This document will be formalised by way of a Development Brief containing all main development aspects and will be offered to CEC planning department for endorsement Engagement commitment • Inclusion – NHS Lothian is seeking to engage with all stakeholders to provide the widest range of interests the opportunity to provide their opinions.
