Who we are
We are a multi-disciplinary team of expert chronic pain clinicians helping patients manage their long-term pain in outpatient clinics across east Kent, Swale and west Kent. We accept referrals from outside this area for patients who are prepared to travel. Virtual appointments are also offered.
