Thanks to everyone who made this, our first national conference, such a success.

Thank you to everyone who attended the Live Well with Pain Footsteps to Change Conference 2025 and for all your contributions and support on the day. There was a genuine enthusiasm among those attending to make a difference to the lives of people with long term pain and to embrace new ways of working to achieve this. We look forward to continuing to support this process of change, so that people with pain will be able to access the knowledge, skills and support they need to live well despite their persistent pain.
