Pain Management Panel - engagement: phase 2 report
The second independently produced report of consultations with the Scottish Government Pain Management Panel. The membership consists of people with lived experience of chronic pain and will help shape the planning and delivery of our Framework for Pain Management Service.
Footnotes
1. The ‘impact of pain’ field was based on a question in the Scottish Health Survey (2022). Panel members were asked the following question: ‘Over the past 3 months, how often did your pain limit your life or work activities?’ Those who selected ‘a lot’ were categorised as ‘high impact’; ‘a little’ were categorized as ‘little/low impact’; and, ‘not at all’ were categorised as ‘no impact’.
2. Throughout the report, we include information about the panel member who provided each quote. The details provided show: gender, age, Local Authority area, socioeconomic group classification and the impact of pain on their life.
3. ReachDeck is a website accessibility tool which has a range of functions such as a screen reader and text enlarger. It is important to note that ReachDeck is not just a feature of the self-help guide but is available on every NHS Inform webpage.
4. For example, Section 15: Sleep directs the user to the NHS Inform Sleep problems and insomnia self-help guide, which is made up of 14 sections.
