At present between 30-50% of the UK population are living with a persistent pain condition. This translates into between 43,000 – 72,000 residents of Hambleton, Richmondshire & Whitby who are managing persistent pain the associated mental and physical impacts.

With waiting times for specialist pain management services range from 10 weeks to 6 months Heartbeat have funded a pilot created by expert pain Physiotherapist Neil Goodenough to help address the issue. The purpose of the Explain Pain Clinic is to provide education and information to any adult who suffers from pain and would like to know more about how to manage their pain.

The service for adults (18 years and over) will be initially run online via zoom in sessions lasting approximately 90 minutes and will cover topics including:

• Understanding pain and how it is created within the body
• The factors that influence your experience of pain
• How you can influence your pain experience, from sleep to nutrition, thoughts and emotions to stress

If you would like to attend an Explain Pain Clinic, please contact your GP Practice who will arrange this for you.

In October 2021 we sadly lost our CEO Iain Murray. Iain had been involved with Heartbeat from its formation in 2014 and became CEO in 2018. Iain really was the heart of Heartbeat and through his kind and compassionate nature and leadership has left a legacy that the whole team is determined to live on.

Our CEO Stephen Brown talks about Iain and why he was so special.

In January 2022 the Heartbeat Alliance announced the decision to transform into a Community Interest Company (CIC) and place people before profit. A CIC is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners. In other words, a not-for-profit company with a clear focus on the community which it serves.

Over the past eight years Heartbeat has connected the dots across GP practices and healthcare services across North Yorkshire to do more and do better for patients.

Heartbeat was formed in 2014 after GPs, nurses and managers across Hambleton, Richmondshire and Whitby felt that they could have done more to retain local services for patients. Building on the strong track record of delivering safe, quality services to patients with a high level of patient satisfaction, Heartbeat has created partnerships to provide patients with healthcare solutions that meet the needs of our unique rural demographics. Our services have fulfilled a vital role in supporting GP practices and primary care providers to service patients in an ever-changing world.
