Flippin’ Pain is a public health initiative that brings the science of pain to the people who really need it in the places they live and work; in the heart of their communities. We believe that engaging the individuals and communities affected by persistent pain, and empowering them through a better understanding is essential to delivering a change in approach to pain across whole systems: A pain revolution!
Through raising awareness and facilitating a better understanding of persistent pain at a population level Flippin’ Pain engages and empowers whole communities to rethink pain, re-engage and recover. Flippin’ Pain is inspired and informed by the ground-breaking Pain Revolution movement in Australia. It is powered by Connect Health and supported by – amongst others – NHS Lincolnshire Clinical Commissioning Group and Teesside University.
Flippin’ Pain has a number of key campaign messages focused on raising awareness of the problem of persistent pain, spreading the word about a modern scientific understanding of pain, and giving people knowledge, skills and hope for a better way forward.
