We're happy to refund you in full if you provide us at least 72 hours notice before your pain assessment.

Before you join the online pain programme you'll be required to complete the initial pain assessment with a consultant. If you have your medical records ('Summary Care Record') you'll typically be able to see a consultant within 7 days.

Once you and enough people to fill a group have completed the pain assessment, we'll invite you to book into sessions on a first-come first-served basis. We'll endeavour to provide a spread of dates and times during the week.

We expect the first programmes to start from October.

The programme will be led by consultant physiotherapist Diarmuid Denneny. Diarmuid is a senior clinical physiotherapist with a long history of working with people who live with pain. His experience and expertise is evident in his roles as chair of the Physiotherapy Pain Association, a national special interest group for physiotherapists, as well as committee member on the recent NICE guideline for chronic pain. He has spoken at international and national conferences as well as delivering teaching to a range of professionals on topics related to chronic pain management.

Each session will additionally be attended by a pain specialist clinician such as a psychologist or pain nurse specialist.

We were the UK's first fully-online chronic pain clinic. We offer:

• 1:1 clinical support with specialist pain consultants, psychologists, physiotherapists and clinical nurse specialists.

• Evidence-based treatment plans and access to emerging treatments not available on the NHS such as medical cannabis.

• Online pain management programmes, clinician-led and self-guided.

Your initial consultation will take place with a Consultants in Pain Medicine. It'll be an online video call.

You'll spend roughly half an hour with them. They'll discuss your medical history, the medications you’ve tried previously and your goals for treatment.

During the consultation you'll create a personalised treatment plan together.

The plan may include further assessment, support and treatment from other members of our clinical team. For example, physiotherapists, psychologists and specialist pain nurses.

The nature of chronic pain means that no two initial consultations and no two treatment plans are the same.

Spaces for each cohort will be booked on a first-come, first-served basis. Each group will comprised of up to 14 people living with pain in the UK.

While you'll have access to the content each session discusses, we'll not be able to record the sessions due to patient privacy.

Yes, Medical Cannabis is legal in the UK. Since the law was passed in 2018, Medical Cannabis is allowed for the treatment of chronic pain conditions if other treatments have proven ineffective. Our consultants are pain specialists with experience working with Medical Cannabis.

Chronic or persistent pain is defined as pain lasting longer than 3 months. Medical Cannabis can be used as when an individual has exceptional clinical needs and at least two other treatments have not worked.

While the list of conditions this might cover is too long to list, common ones we treat include:

• Back Pain

• Cancer Pain

• Endometriosis

• Facial Pain

• Fibromyalgia

• Joint Pain

• Knee Pain

• Multiple Sclerosis

• Sciatica

This isn't a complete list and everyone's experience with pain is unique. Medical Cannabis can be used to treat other conditions too.

Medical Cannabis can only be prescribed by clinicians who are on the 'Specialist Register' of the General Medical Council.

With us, you'll be under the care of a consultant who is on the Specialist Register. They'll have experience prescribing Medical Cannabis. They'll assess whether Medical Cannabis is a suitable treatment for you and tell you why.

There is ongoing global research and real-world data that shows the efficacy of Medical Cannabis. It may benefit chronic pain sufferers where other first-line medications have failed.

Medical cannabis works by acting on your endocannabinoid system (ECS). This exists in each of us and helps functions including pain control, sleep and mood.

For example, our own data has shown:

• 94% of patients reported an improvement in the severity of their pain

• 77% of patients reported improvement in mental health

• 88% of patients improved in at least component of quality of life

• 59% of patients using opioids reported they stopped all use

• 97% experienced no adverse effects
