Pain network and people

To improve the understanding and treatment of pain, an extensive multidisciplinary approach involving all stakeholders is required; including basic scientists, clinicians, patients and industrial partners with wide-ranging fields of expertise.

The Sheffield Pain Network is a multidisciplinary research community of individuals and groups who have established international reputations in pain research. Our members consist of Sheffield based researchers spanning a very broad range of disciplines from basic through to clinical research, as well as members from various patient and carer support groups. The main cohort of our members are from The University of Sheffield with additional members from Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield Teaching Hospitals, Northern General Hospital, Sheffield Children’s Hospital, medical practices and local charities.

The aim of the Sheffield Pain Network is to build on our existing strengths in the field of pain to develop an internationally excellent, multidisciplinary research centre in Sheffield that will enhance the understanding of chronic pain and improve its treatment.
