The Pain Management Service is an integrated multidisciplinary service looking after patients with acute and long-term pain, both in an inpatient and outpatient setting.  We have an amazing opportunity to offer a role within the team.

This role offers the opportunity to expand or develop skills in teaching, audit and research. The Pain Service offers educational placements for medical & nursing students, trainee pharmacists, psychologists and physiotherapists. Post-holders are encouraged to develop their skills and there are opportunities to study at Masters level, modules including independent non-medical prescribing, clinical assessment and management of long term conditions.

The Service currently covers Monday- Friday (07.45-17.45) and Saturdays (08.15-14.00). With development of the elective theatre programme and move towards a seven day hospital service, hours may extend in the future to cover evenings and full weekends.

This post is far more varied than just caring for post-surgical patients with acute pain.  It may be attractive to applicants who have an interest in mental health, psychology and caring for patients with a long-term condition, including persistent pain.
