Bridging the GAP: a critical analysis of pain management services in the United Kingdom
Chronic pain is one of the most common causes of disability, profoundly impacting quality of life and mental health, and associated with detrimental economic sequelae. The provision of pain services within the UK National Health Service was noted to be inadequate before the COVID-19 pandemic, and services have been further challenged because of its impact. The Faculty of Pain Medicine commissioned a survey to evaluate the state of pain services throughout the UK, and to compare the current service against ‘gold standards’ of care defined by the FPM in its Core Standards for Pain Management Services. We discuss the findings of the survey and offer suggestions to improve service provision and reduce the noted shortfalls.
