A national charity that delivers professionally led self management pain education in the community.
Self-management means you being back in control, not the pain controlling you.
Are you in pain or supporting someone in pain?
Are you a medical professional?

Our Stance
We appreciate that whilst many of us are benefitting from the lifting of all restrictions, there are many who are still rather anxious to gather in a group setting in a public place. So, whilst many of our local groups have returned to a face-to-face setting, we continue to deliver many of our group sessions on-line. Please see our https://painassociation.co.uk/meetings page to see what’s on in your area.
For all those who are attending the group meetings or self-management courses in a face-to-face setting, can we ask you to be mindful the up-to-date guidance on NHS Inform - https://www.nhsinform.scot/illnesses-and-conditions/infections-and-poisoning/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-covid-19 around staying at home if you feel unwell. This helps ensure our service users and staff remain safe.

Peter’s Story
Hear about one of our service users who has chronic pain as a result of an industrial accident. He was told there was nothing else for him and that he would be in chronic pain for the rest of his life.
Latest on the Blog
Our service is specifically designed to target those in the community who are affected by Long Term (Chronic Painful) Conditions.
We continue to address the non-medical issues which impact on people’s lives. The service is open to anyone regardless of diagnosis, at any time and provides a high quality staff led community based service for people burdened with all forms of chronic pain.
“My GP gave me told me about Pain Association Scotland and so have spent some time exploring your website. ‘Thank you’ is not enough to convey my gratitude to all those involved in creating this site. Plus all those involved in the support groups.”
