Welcome back to the new Season of the Pain Speak Podcast. This season is titled "Voices In Pain" and the focus of this season is to shine a spotlight on various organisations and people who are making a difference to pain management in the UK and beyond and helping patients in persistent pain. Some of the episodes will be a sole while others will have a guest joining me.

Join us for an insightful conversation with Cormac, the first guest for this new season of the Painspeak podcast. In this episode, Cormac shares his journey from aspiring vet to a leading figure in pain research and education. Discover how a pivotal book changed his perspective on physiotherapy and led him to champion the Flippin' Pain campaign. We delve into the importance of public health approaches to pain management and the impact of community involvement. Tune in to explore the challenges and triumphs of transforming pain education and the future of digital health initiatives. 

Cormac Ryan is Professor of Clinical Rehabilitation at Teesside University and a community pain champion for the Flippin’ Pain campaign. He was awarded his PhD from the Glasgow Caledonian University in 2008 where he looked at the relationship between physical activity and persistent lower back pain. Cormac has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles and obtained over £1m in research funding. He enjoys fishing and long walks away from his children.

Flippin Pain is doing a free webinar Pain education for the nation on 15th October. It is part of EU pain awareness day and will feature Cormac along with a number of other speakers who are either patients with lived experience of pain or pain champions in their area.
