Why Become a Member?
Joining Action on Pain enables us to reach out to help others who are affected by pain.
With more members we can make a real impact in raising awareness of the inequalities in the provision of pain management services within the NHS.
Chronic pain is often seen as a symptom rather than the major component of your health problems. Through working together we are able to demonstrate the impact the "often unseen" effect of chronic pain on the individual and their family/friends.
A strong membership base adds greater strength to the lobbying and other support activities that Action on Pain undertakes. We work with healthcare professionals to give them a greater understanding of chronic pain highlighting what they can do to improve quality of life.
Please join up as your support is very much needed and greatly appreciated. Together we can continue to make a real difference in ensuring Action on Pain continues to provide high levels of support for people affected by chronic pain.
