Volunteering with the Programme

There are a number of ways programme graduates can volunteer and become involved with the service.

These include and are not limited to:

• Speaking about your experiences to current patients attending PMP groups
• Being involved in organising and/or planning one off events associated with the PMP and chronic pain
• Being involved in reviewing new information such as leaflets or presentations within the PMP
• Being part of video projects to share experience of attending the programme and managing chronic pain long term after completing the group programme
• Speaking at meetings with other health professionals about your experiences of the service

Volunteers have been and are currently involved in a number of these activities and continue to add rich value to the service along with supporting service improvement initiatives. If you have graduated from a programme and you have an interest in volunteering, let us know by emailing Scottish.PMP@ggc.scot.nhs.uk
