Pain is common – talking about it isn’t. Let’s change that.

Chronic pain (also known as persistent or long-term pain) affects around 38% of people in Scotland, yet many people still find it difficult to talk about.

It’s a recognised health condition that continues beyond normal healing time and can affect every aspect of daily life – from work and relationships to sleep, mood and confidence.

Understanding pain is an important step towards managing it.

The more we learn about what is happening in our bodies, the more empowered we can feel to take positive steps forward.

Are you studying in Tayside this year? If you are a new or returning student, whether in your local area or if you're moving to a new place, it's important to know how to use local NHS services correctly to get the right care in the right place.

We teamed up with Abertay University, University of Dundee, Dundee and Angus College and UHI Perth to create an online Student Health Hub.

Visit www.studenthealthtayside.scot.nhs.uk for information about how and when to access different health services, registering with a local GP, mental health and wellbeing support, sexual health services, vaccinations and more.

GP Practices throughout Tayside are committed to providing patients with the highest quality care. They participate in a number of Protected Learning Time (PLT) sessions throughout the year which allows them to provide access to training for the whole practice team.

Most GP Practices throughout Tayside will be closed for routine appointments between 1-6pm today (Wednesday 2 September) to take part in PLT sessions.
Please be assured, access to urgent care for patients will continue throughout this time.

During those hours on Wednesday 2 September, GP practices will continue to be contactable by phone to access urgent care which cannot wait until the practice reopens the following morning or to make any future appointments or medication requests.

GP surgeries will resume their usual working hours again on Thursday 3 September.

🎵Music is the answer 🎵

Roxburghe House introduced music therapy as an initial 10-week pilot project in September 2025. The success of this project has led to a weekly music therapy service within Roxburghe House.

Delivered by music therapist Mary Veal through MV Music Services, the service offers a range of musical experiences for patients and family members, building on work previously provided through Nordoff and Robbins.

This supports relaxation, distraction and motivation through a tailored musical experience, encourages creative engagement and self-expression during end-of-life care, and provides meaningful opportunities for patients, families and friends to connect through music.
