Dr. Ian Gillespie
Consultant anaesthetist in Belfast City Hospital, Dr. Gillespie has a superb team of coworkers who together have provided the Province's first fibromyalgia pain management program - this is a unique strategy of provision of various services e.g. Physios, OTs and others who collectively work with patients over a 6 week period to enable them to learn new coping strategies to deal with their pain rather than the conventional drug methods. The course requires a lot of commitment and can be a tough one but is well worth the effort according to those who've gone through it so far. Your GP can refer you to Dr. Gillespie for consideration of applying to the program or just for pure pain management in the usual pain clinic setting.
