Our approach
Care that is checked at every stage
Remote Monitoring at Home
When your loved one is recovering at home, we stay in touch, follow their pain and progress remotely, and step in early if anything changes.
Early Mobilisation & Physiotherapy
Good pain control helps you get out of bed sooner and make the most of your physiotherapy. Your plan is shaped so that movement and recovery work can go ahead as comfortably as possible.
Whole-person recovery
One team, one recovery plan
Our team includes physiotherapists, counsellors and dietitians who work with you as part of one recovery plan, alongside your pain care.
Psychological support
Recovering from surgery, trauma or cancer-related pain can be demanding. Our counsellors and psychologists work with you as part of your recovery plan, so that emotional wellbeing sits alongside your pain care.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists work with you so that movement and recovery can go ahead as comfortably as possible, helping you get moving earlier and take part in rehabilitation.
Nutrition
Eating well supports healing and energy after surgery. Our dietitians work with you as part of the same plan, with practical advice suited to your needs.
Services
A plan built around assessment, not a single technique
Care may combine medicines, regional techniques where appropriate, and simple recovery measures. Pain care is offered after trauma, orthopaedic and spine surgery, as well as after other operations, and for people living with cancer-related pain. Not every treatment suits every person. Options, possible benefits and risks are explained before anything is recommended.
Post surgery pain assessment
A structured review of your surgery, current post-operative pain, medicines, and how pain is affecting sleep, movement and daily activity.
Cancer Pain Care
Care for pain related to cancer or its treatment, planned alongside your oncology team to support comfort and daily life. Medicines and regional techniques may be used where they are suitable, and the plan is reviewed as your needs change.
Multimodal pain plans
A plan that uses more than one approach together, so that no single medicine or technique is relied on alone. The mix is tailored to you and reviewed over time.
Nerve blocks and regional techniques
Regional analgesia, including nerve blocks, can reduce pain in a specific part of the body by acting near the nerves that supply it. Ultrasound or other guidance may be used. These techniques are not required or appropriate for everyone.
Medication review
A careful look at pain-related medicines, doses and timing, with the aim of using them well and reducing avoidable side effects. Do not stop a prescribed medicine without speaking to a qualified clinician.
Recovery follow-up
Pain can change in the days and weeks after an operation. Follow-up is used to review progress, answer questions and adjust the plan if needed.
Home Visits & Consultations
Consultations at your home or at the clinic, by appointment.
Teleconsultation
Where it is clinically suitable, a consultation may be offered by telephone or video. Some assessments and all procedures still need an in-person visit.

FAQs
Common questions about pain after surgery
These answers are general information. They do not replace an individual medical assessment.
Why do I have pain after surgery?
Pain after an operation is common. It can come from the surgical wound, nearby tissues, inflammation, muscle spasm or irritation of nerves. The amount of pain varies with the type of surgery, your health and other factors. It does not always mean that something is wrong, but new or worsening pain should be assessed.
How long does pain after surgery last?
For many people, pain eases over days to a few weeks as healing continues. Some people have pain that lasts longer, sometimes called persistent or chronic post-operative pain. If pain is not settling, is getting worse, or is interfering with sleep or movement, it is reasonable to seek a review.
What is multimodal pain management?
It means using more than one approach at the same time, rather than relying on a single medicine or technique. This may include different classes of pain medicine, regional anaesthesia such as a nerve block where suitable, and supportive measures such as activity and sleep guidance. The combination is chosen for the individual.
What is a nerve block?
A nerve block is a procedure in which local anaesthetic, and sometimes other medicine, is placed near a nerve or group of nerves to reduce pain in a particular region of the body. Ultrasound or other guidance may be used. As with any procedure, there are benefits and risks, which should be discussed beforehand. A nerve block is not suitable for everyone.
Is it normal to still have pain after I leave hospital?
Yes, some pain after discharge is common. You should have a plan for medicines and self-care, and know when to seek help. Contact a clinician urgently, or use emergency services, if you have rapidly worsening pain, a high fever, increasing redness or swelling of the wound, shortness of breath, chest pain, sudden weakness, or any symptom you have been told to watch for.
Can I be seen by teleconsultation?
In some cases, yes. A remote consultation can be useful for discussion, medicine review and follow-up. It may not replace an in-person examination or a procedure. Suitability is decided during or after first contact.
Can I have a consultation at home?
Yes. Home visits and consultations are available by appointment, at your home or at the clinic. We will confirm what is suitable when you get in touch.
Do I need a referral?
Referral details will be published soon, including whether a referring doctor is required.
What should I bring to the first visit?
If you have them: a discharge summary, operation notes, a current medicine list, allergy information, and any recent test results or imaging reports. A brief timeline of your pain is also helpful.
