ESMSK, along with input from colleagues at Cora Health and Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust’s Pain Team have put together a handbook for those living with persistent pain.

This handbook is designed to help you understand and manage persistent pain. It is a tool to support anyone being referred to a pain management service, or anyone who perhaps wants some literature and advice whilst they self-manage. It may also help you to continue doing the things that you enjoy, or need to do, improve your quality of life and help you with how you feel. It provides links to other resources and services as well as ideas about how to self-manage and live with persistent pain.
