Chronic pain management on agenda for GP's conference

GPs will be given more advice on how to manage chronic pain in their patients today. 

Doctors will be out of action this afternoon whilst they take part in an education session - they take place four times a year and are an opportunity for the GPs to come together to discuss current issues. 

Among the other things on the agenda are the review of complaints and the management of UTIs and back and chronic pain.

Doctor Helen Freer will be attending the conference:

Provisions have been put in place for anyone who needs medical care - however people are being urged not to go to A&E unless it is an emergency.
