Persistent pain, lasting over 12 weeks, like long-term back pain or nerve pain, affects an estimated 12-25% of people in Wales. While some people manage it well, others face major impacts on their daily lives, affecting not only them but also their families, friends, and communities.

The Welsh Government wants to understand the real experiences of people with persistent pain, whether or not they are using healthcare services, to ensure that policies truly meet their needs. They are asking you to join their People's Panel.

The People’s Panel will bring together individuals living with persistent pain and those who support them, such as carers and family members. Panel members will share their experiences, insights and ideas to help improve understanding and shape more supportive, effective services across Wales.

Who can join?

• Individuals living with persistent pain, whether or not they’re receiving healthcare support
• Carers, parents, or family members who support someone with persistent pain
• Those impacted by persistent pain in their workplace or wider community
