1st Birthday Party for Pain Group
There was a party at the H-Pod on October 23 to celebrate the first birthday of the patient-led chronic pain support group, who meet there monthly. The Patient Pain Support Group (PPSG) decided to turn their anniversary session into a fun party for all their members and invited guests. There was an excellent turnout and everyone had a wonderful time, enjoying the delicious buffet provided by sponsor, Camden MSK Services. It was a great opportunity for the members plus friends and supporters to catch up and socialise together. Additionally, it raised awareness of the group and its goal – to support Camden-based chronic pain sufferers who have attended a pain management programme. The PPSG will be meeting monthly throughout 2020, thanks to the generous support of WEP. ([email protected])
