great success.

Advice & guidance on your pain related issues
The Veterans Pain Clinic is
free of charge
to all veterans who are able to provide proof of service. The costs will be
covered by the Hospitals’ Military Grants Fund charity.
The consultant is Dr Dominic Aldington. Having served in the Royal Army Medical
Corps he was the Subject Matter Expert in Pain to the Surgeon General and was
responsible for organising pain relief from the point of injury until a
casualty left the service. This saw him working at the Defence Medical
Rehabilitation Centre at Headley Court and the Royal Centre for Defence
Medicine in Birmingham, as well as undertaking a number of deployments during
his career. He will offer advice and guidance on your pain related issues,
including a medication review and will liaise with your NHS GP helping you
to optimise your pain management.
The next available appointments will be on
Monday 22nd July
