Neil Clark
Teaching Fellow
Background
I have worked in NHS chronic pain management services since 2005. In that time I have been fortunate to work in different services with varying approaches. This has allowed development of breadth and depth of knowledge and understanding, in helping and supporting those living with chronic pain. My prior Physiotherapy experience was based in MSK.
Outside my work role I was Chair of Physiotherapy Pain Association (North) from 2010 to 2016, as well as Public Relations Officer for the Physiotherapy Pain Association.
