Pain Management

We are proud to offer our patients the best care, provided by a team of specialised physicians and clinical nurse specialists within Clinic 9 at King’s Mill Hospital. Our dedicated team also supports departments and wards at all our hospitals.

Our outpatient clinics are centred around people who live with persistent non-malignant pain, which is often also referred to as chronic pain. We favour a multi-modal approach to pain management, which may involve a variety of interventions. This method is delivered via consultant anaesthetists with specialist expertise in chronic pain management. Our services include consultant consultations, diagnostic interventions, medication advice, reviews and injectable therapies.

Our services are developed using evidence-based research, and our team is committed towards maintaining continuous professional development.

Referrals

Inpatient referrals can be made by healthcare professionals directly to the pain nurse specialists, sometimes at the request of the patient.

Outpatient referrals for non-malignant persistent pain can be made by a consultant physician or by your family doctor. We had a change in commissioning in 2019 and we cannot accept referrals for patients who have family doctors in the NHS Nottingham and Nottinghamshire ICB, these have to go to Primary Integrated Community Services Limited, Unit H3, Ash Tree Court, Nottingham Business Park, Nottingham, NG8 6PY. Their telephone number is 03000 830000 and email address is pics.picscommunitypainclinic@nhs.net.
