Fibromyalgia Self-Management Programme – 12-Month new service evaluation

Purpose: A need was identified within the service for effective long-term management of patients with pre-existing or newly diagnosed fibromyalgia. These patients make up 25% of all referrals into the Pain Team. Fibromyalgia is a complex, long-term, multi-factorial health condition that has high healthcare and societal burden. Previously these patients have received inconsistent management which has been frustrating for patients and clinicians alike. The goal was to be able to create a clear, consistent and effective patient pathway within the Moving Well Service at Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust and with external referrers.
