ABSTRACT
Pain that presents to specialist teams is by definition complex and multidimensional. Complex health care is increasingly provided by multidisciplinary teams. Thus, multidisciplinary working should be the norm. Physicians who are unused to working in a team environment may find it challenging. There is a need to respect professional boundaries, to allow each person a voice, and to make consensual, patient-centerd decisions. How does a doctor best contribute to the team?
