All so often the carers/friend relatives of people with pain are left out in the cold unable or unaware what they can do to help or indeed cope themselves with the situation.
"Waving the Flag for Carers of Someone Living With Chronic Pain" goes a long way to bridging the gap providing good "down to earth " information and advice in our usual easy to understand format. This increases our range of booklets to eight.
