A new event for people in pain: Pain Education for the Nation!
Flippin’ Pain is happening tonight (15 October) 17:30 - 19:30.

A groundbreaking livestream that tackles the myths and realities of persistent pain.

Taking place on Wednesday 15 October 2025, this one-of-a-kind event will explore the fascinating science of pain in an easy way, bust common myths, and share inspiring stories of recovery.

The key speaker at the event, Cormac Ryan, is Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation at Teesside University and a Community Pain Champion for Flippin’ Pain. Cormac said:

“Persistent pain affects up to 30-50% of us here in Great Britain, but a lot of the best research out there just hasn’t trickled down to the public, or even many professionals. We know a lot of people might be feeling lost, or unsupported with their pain: this event is about changing that.

“By bringing together a group of experts – many that live with pain themselves – we want to ‘flip’ the conversation, give people the right information about pain and share real advice on how we can improve the situation.”

The link to register for this one of a kind event is in the comments.

Pain Education for the Nation is not just important – it’s essential. It’s about giving people the knowledge and power to take control of their lives again.

People across Great Britain can join Pain Education for the Nation online for free.

Patients are politely reminded that if they are found posting any derogatory, defamatory, or offensive comments on social media directed to the Practice or members of staff on social networking sites, this may result in them being removed from the Practice List.

We have noticed a recent trend where a patient will use a Social Media site to comment on the Practice and members of the surgery.
We would ask that if you have a complaint about our service we encourage you to report this to the practice manager using our complaints procedures. The practice will investigate and respond to complaint. This gives the practice the opportunity to respond and also obtain feedback. We appreciate both good and bad feedback so we can look at adapting and changing services as required.

The Practice reserves the right to remove a patient from the surgery list and report them to the social networking site if they are found to have made libelous statements or defamatory comments about the surgery or a member of the surgery staff. The legal definition of defamation is:
"any intentionally false communication, either written or spoken, that harms a person’s reputation; decreases the respect, regard, or confidence in which a person is held; or induces disparaging, hostile or disagreeable opinions or feelings against a person."

The Practice reserves the right to remove a patient from the list if there is a perceived breakdown in the doctor- patient relationship.

This is in keeping with guidance from the British Medical Association and the Local Medical Committee.

Thank you and have a great weekend!

Unfortunately our staff are having to deal with patients who are unapologetically abusive and rude on a daily basis.
Please remember that we are doing the very best we can with the resources that are made available to us.
While we understand that medical situations can be stressful, it is never acceptable to direct aggression, disrespect, or abuse toward our staff. Not agreeing with or understanding the information provided does not justify hostile behavior.
Everyone deserves to be treated with courtesy and professionalism, and we are committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for both patients and staff.
We take this opportunity to remind patients that we have a zero tolerance policy in place to protect our staff and violation of this policy may result in being taken off the practice list.

Thank you 💙
