The Royal National Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases
As part of the Bath National Pain Centre, we provide two nationally-commissioned highly-specialist functional rehabilitation services:
– Adult Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Service
– Pain-related Complex Cancer Late Effects Rehabilitation Service (CCLERS)
We are based at the RNHRD & Brownsword Therapies Centre, which is part of the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust.
Our internationally-recognised and therapist-led team specialises in non-medical management of these complex persistent pain conditions, focusing on improving function and empowering people to manage their condition well and improve their quality of life. Our team includes a pain consultant, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, a psychologist, and a clinical nurse specialist.
We offer a specialist interdisciplinary assessment clinic and for those who are appropriate, we provide a two-week bespoke functional rehabilitation programme.
After a two week stay with us, patients will be offered options for follow-up, resources and recommendations for ongoing support.
Bath National Pain Centre is a leading provider of NHS specialist pain rehabilitation in the UK, offering multiple treatment packages.
We support patients of all ages, from childhood to older adulthood, including those with complex care needs.
Delivered in purpose-built modern facilities, our residential programmes are designed to reduce pain-associated disability and minimise the impact of pain on a person’s life.
We have highly-specialised programmes for specific patient groups, including Children and Families, Young Adults (18-25), Severely Affected adults, Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) and pain-related Complex Cancer Late Effects (CCLERS).
Our research-active centre is committed to advancing pain rehabilitation practice.
