CCIPS sits under the Department of Anaesthetics and is an accredited training site for ANZCA. We encourage anaesthesia trainees’ interest in chronic pain and can arrange for trainees to spend time with CCIPS if desired. There is a scholarship programme through CCIPS for local GPs to improve their ability to manage these patients in the community. A campus of the University of Newcastle within the hospital grounds offers opportunities for undergraduate teaching.
