The Durham Group recently held their annual open day at their weekly Pain Cafe which meets at Brandon Community Hall. They find that holding an open day not only gets the word out to the local community, but also brings together a good network of professionals to network and help each other. The day was a great success with plenty of people coming along for information.
As well as the regular members who helped out, they welcomed Angela Campbell, the FMA UK Regional Coordinator for the North East, local social prescribers, physiotherapists, Age UK, Wellbeing for Life, Employability Durham, Thrive, Paul Chazot (representing the Pain Academy, WRIHW and Durham University), Joanne from the Bowen Technique, Les and Pam from Prostate Cancer and the Balbir Singh Dance Company from Leeds.
Su Madden, who leads the group, works with the dance group and Prof Chazot on our Unmasking Pain project. She also works with Prof CHazot and Honorary WRIHW Fellow Dr Frances Cole on the Live Well with Pain programme.
If you would like to contact Su please let is know. The next Pain Cafe will be on the 8th May.
