Current Research
What are the causes and risk factors associated with high impact chronic pain?
This research aims to find out the causes of high impact chronic pain. The findings will inform interventions to address people's individual needs.
PAtient-centred Care for Fibromyalgia: New pathway Design (PACFiND)
This project aims to find a better model of healthcare for people with fibromyalgia. This could lead to better outcomes by ensuring everyone has access to timely diagnosis and effective treatments.
