PainLine:

Our dedicated telephone help-line, manned by people with chronic pain, provides expert advice and support based around our own experience. Confidential and informal, PainLine has gained a reputation for providing a quality service to our callers.

As our call staff are all volunteers there may be times when the line is not manned. Please leave a message - we will get back to you.
N.B. We are not qualified to give medical advice, however the advice we give is based around our day-to-day living with chronic pain.

PainLine Update:

At the end of 2005 Action on Pain had handled 22902 calls on PainLine continuing the popularity of the service which has lead to greater usage.

At the start of 2004 Action on Pain started to provide weekend cover on PainLine however the uptake has been very light. Given that we rely entirely on volunteers to man PainLine it was clear that this was not the best use of this valuable resource. We therefore took the decision to withdraw weekend cover from 1 December 2004. That said messages to the answerphone at the weekend will be monitored with any urgent calls being responded to as soon as possible as will messages to our e-mail address info@action-on-pain.co.uk

Our office/fax number is 01760 725993 which should be used for all administrative purposes.
