Connect Health to deliver Community Pain Management Service to Lincolnshire

Building on the existing pain service, the new offering will deliver enhanced outcomes for patients while providing value for money to taxpayers.

Connect Health, a leading specialised independent provider of integrated community health services, were selected as the successful bidder for the delivery of the Lincolnshire Community Pain Management Service (CPMS).

Chronic pain affects up to 28 million adults in the UK, with 37% of women and 31% of men reporting chronic/persistent pain. A key challenge for Lincolnshire’s four clinical commissioning groups was how to manage the impact of persistent pain for their growing population of 782,551. Lincolnshire is the second largest county in England and has high levels of deprivation which creates a difficult environment in which to manage persistent pain.
