Speaker

Dr Jo Rotherham

Jo is a Pain Medicine Physician and Anaesthetist with more than two decades experience of failing to set up services in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia. 

Despite being Director of the Persistent Pain Service at Wellington Hospital, Director of the Persistent Pain Service and Director of the Acute Pain Service at the Princess Alexandra Hospital, these positions of grandeur have not improved her success.

"The Pitfalls and Tribulations of setting up a Service"

Setting up a service is tricky and having a good idea is only the very start of a long process with multiple hurdles.

Jo is here today to tell you about what works and what doesn’t when setting up a transitional pain service.
Spoiler: there’s a happy ending.
