To support all healthcare professionals in the assessment and management of chronic pain, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published guidance, which can be found at the following link:
https://www.nice.org.uk/guidance/ng193
The guidance includes recommendations for healthcare professionals on how to carry out a person-centred assessment when an individual presents with chronic pain, how to develop a care and support plan for a patient with chronic pain, and how to manage flare-ups of chronic pain. The guidance also includes recommendations on both pharmacological and non-pharmacological management options for chronic pain.
Building on the NICE guidelines, the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has produced an e-learning course on chronic pain in adults, which is available at the following link:
https://elearning.rcgp.org.uk/course/info.php?id=588
The e-learning course aims to increase understanding amongst general practitioners (GPs) about chronic pain and to educate GPs and other healthcare professionals about the physiology of pain. It gives practical advice about how the NICE guidelines can be applied to patient care. The training curriculum for postgraduate trainee doctors is set by the RCGP, and has to meet the standards set by the General Medical Council.
Doctors are responsible for ensuring their own clinical knowledge remains up-to-date and for identifying learning needs as part of their continuing professional development. This activity should include taking account of new research and developments in guidance, such as that produced by NICE, to ensure that they can continue to provide high quality care to all patients.

Our Renewed Women’s Health Strategy, published in April, explicitly recognises that women’s pain is too often dismissed, normalised, or ignored, and treats this as a systemic failure, not isolated poor practice. It puts women’s lived experience, including pain and whether they felt listened to, at the heart of how National Health Service quality is defined, measured, and improved.
For the first time, women’s feedback on pain management will directly influence NHS accountability, and patient reported experience measures will be embedded in core women’s health pathways.
The strategy strengthens escalation and feedback routes, building on Jess’s Rule and Martha’s Rule, so women can challenge when symptoms persist or they feel they are not being listened to.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of requiring the (a) Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and (b) War Pensions to (i) recognise and (ii) compensate veterans with diagnosed chronic pain.
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the potential merits of requiring the (a) Armed Forces Compensation Scheme and (b) War Pensions to (i) recognise and (ii) compensate veterans with diagnosed chronic pain.
The Ministry of Defence has assessed that both the Armed Forces Compensation Scheme (AFCS) and the War Pension Scheme (WPS) already provide compensation for pain and suffering as part of a holistic assessment of service-attributable injury or illness.
Under both schemes, chronic pain is not normally treated as a standalone condition. Instead, it is generally considered an expected consequence of a primary injury and is reflected within the overall award.
Where there is a distinct and separately diagnosable chronic pain condition, such as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, this may be considered on its own merits on a case-by-case basis
The Department keeps the operation of both schemes under review. The Independent Medical Expert Group (IMEG) is currently considering evidence and stakeholder concerns on how chronic pain is reflected within existing arrangements. No final conclusions have yet been reached.

My Lords, I thank the Minister and I, too, welcome the women’s health strategy, as it includes many important objectives.

My Lords, on osteoporosis and post-menopause in particular, we could save a lot of money in the health service if interventions
came in earlier. I am very concerned that we do not talk enough about this, and we certainly are not looking particularly at lower-income households and women, especially from...

I would be pleased to. This is an important point because MSK conditions disproportionately affect women. We are investing in diagnosis, and this financial year we are funding 21 new DEXA scanners in priority locations. That will mean some 60,000 scans per year, so we will be upping the game...
