Mediaplanet and the Guardian article launched: Understanding the person with chronic pain

24th Jun 2025

It’s launched! Patient Empowerment – Managing Pain today, aiming to raise awareness, inspire action, and improve outcomes by amplifying the voices of those living with chronic pain. We’re proud to have partnered with Mediaplanet UK & IE on this campaign and can’t wait for you to see it.

- Kirsty Bannister explains why science can’t solve pain alone:
“Only by connecting pre-clinical science with patient experience can we build the future of personalised pain care.”
- Katy Vincent calls for action on gender disparity in pain:
“Women’s pain has been historically dismissed – this must change for the benefit of families, workplaces and society.”
- Amirah Ashouri shares how BPS is co-producing care:
“It’s not just about managing symptoms – it’s about being heard, and supported to thrive.”

Together we’re calling for person-centred, multidisciplinary, equitable care for all who live with chronic pain.
