APHG is an all-party parliamentary group dedicated to disseminating knowledge, generating debate and facilitating engagement on health issues amongst Members of Parliament. The group provides high quality and impartial information to parliamentarians about national and local health issues, and is recognised as one of the preferred sources of information on health in parliament.

Chronic Pain Policy Coalition (CPPC)

The CPPC is a forum for patients, professionals and parliamentarians who aim to raise the profile of chronic pain in Westminster and develop policy solutions which can be presented to Government.  Drawing on a consultation exercise involving patients, professionals, and employers, a recently published policy manifesto recommends that pain be measured as the fifth vital sign.
