| Learn more about living with 
pain at our free event PEOPLE living with persistent pain are 
being invited to learn more about how they might live with it better.  The 
Community Pain Service, which works with patients and carers in the Southport 
and Formby areas, is holding a free information event, on Tuesday, 25 April 
2017.
 "Chronic pain affects up to 40% of our local population and can cause severe 
disability and distress. Our evening meetings are about developing understanding 
of how pain works and how best it can be managed. It's freely open to anyone 
with pain or who pain impacts on, such as partners, family members, carers and 
healthcare professionals. We'd love to meet you and it's our hope we can better 
understand what's really needed locally." said Dr Chris Barker, clinical 
lead for the service, which is based at Ainsdale Centre for Health and 
Wellbeing.
 
 The event will be held between 6.30pm and 8.30pm, at St John Stone's RC Parish,
