Physiotherapy Pain Association

Physiotherapy Pain Association (PPA) Patient Representatives Christine P (Tina) and Louise Trewern are launching PIPPA (Patient Involvement in the PPA), a group for patients and carers who are interested in shaping and informing the work of the PPA.

PPA Equality and Diversity Officer, Despina Karargyri has collated links for physiotherapists to support people living with pain who need who require adapted or interpreted materials.

The pilot has just commenced for a training package that the PPA has developed in partnership with the HIN South London and Prof Frank Keefe of Duke University.

The PPA Committee seeks your views through the PPA Survey.

The PPA contributed to the CSP webinars on "Supporting Self Management" and "Pain", which highlighted the value of Co-production and Patient Involement in service design and improvement.

The Physiotherapy Pain Association is a registered stakeholder for the draft NICE Guidance on Chronic Pain and welcomes comment to form the response.
