BDB meets New Comprehensive Pain Management Programme team

BDB meets New Comprehensive Pain Management Programme team

On  Friday 14th December BDB was invited to Hammersmith Hospital’s New Comprehensive Pain Management Programme.

At the moment, the programme welcomes people with sickle cell in North West London, whose centre of care is either Hammersmith Hospital or Central Middlesex / Northwick Park Hospital.

The workshop was divided in two sections.

The first section explained the difference between acute and chronic pain, and how the body produces pain.

And the second part addressed the difference between pain and suffering

If you have sickle pain or know someone who does and would like to attend the next workshop please email Imperial.Sicklecellpmp@nhs.net to register or contact linda.chic@sickecellsociety.org
