The Scale of the ProblemThe Scale of the Problem
• An average practice of 10,000 patients can expect to include 1,000-2,000 people with chronic pain
• These patients require 6,250 consultations for pain-related conditions a year
• Practice based retrospective audit (2002) Looking at efficacy problems, side effect and intolerance,
clinical condition, compliance etc., the figures for a year: 4,602,000 consultations with 793 GP’s per year Cost = £69,030,000

Problems in General PracticeProblems in General PracticeProblems in General PracticeProblems in General Practice
We are trained badly in assessment of pain We dislike dealing with pain Prefer conditions where symptoms can be measured Guidelines are sent but are not educated and in the
case of most aspects of pain not available We are frustrated because of the lack of treatment
options available. The lack of immediate treatments invariably links in
with chronic sickness behaviour & certification.
