Glyn and Konrad have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with, being taught by and having access to the academic output of many talented and interesting individuals working within, and outside, the speciality. In the podcasts we want to have informal conversations with many varied and diverse individuals who have, and continue to, shape, develop and lead the field. We also hope to discuss chronic pain with patients and their parents, as well as clinicians working with them. We want them to help us explain the many different aspects that contribute to this complex presentation of pain that we all see. In addition we will see if we can get to know them a bit, what makes them tick and how their experiences have shaped them.

Chronic pain and mental health

In this episode, Konrad initially explains why he is an idiot. He then talks about a symposium he attended at the ISPP conference in Halifax about the use of virtual reality in chronic pain. He explains why he remains to be convinced.

The main guest is Dr Jane McNicholas, a clinical psychologist at Great Ormond Street hospital in London who has experience working in a mental health unit as well as the pain service at Great Ormond Street. She talks about her favourite book (by Russ Harris), mental health issues in chronic pain and the way she feels our services should be organised. A fascinating discussion about where pain management ends and the treatment of mental health begins ensues.
