What We Do
Our Mission
Our Vision
CPI has demonstrated professional leadership in Ireland and throughout Europe by raising awareness of chronic pain, educating in methods of dealing with the condition, and advocating for the needs of people living in chronic pain.
We advocate for multi-disciplinary treatment centres, improved health services and changes to the educational curriculum so that healthcare providers are more aware of the condition and the challenges of diagnosing, treating and managing the condition.
We adhere to the principles of good corporate governance. We are transparent and compliant with all regulatory requirements.

Collaboration
We work in collaboration and partnership with our members, their families, healthcare professionals, researchers and policymakers to ensure people living with chronic pain get the information, support and care they need to live meaningful, purposeful lives.
Empathy
We foster a culture of empathy and show compassion towards each other and ourselves. We value diversity, respect difference and strive to listen to the experiences of our staff, volunteers, our members and the broader community with open hearts and minds.
Learning
We believe in the power of learning to bring about individual, organisation and societal change. We embrace a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to finding solutions that empower people living with chronic pain to meet their full potential in their personal and work lives.
Trust
We are committed to integrity and transparency and operate to the highest standards of governance in the service of our members, our funders, our community and the wider public.
