 Application: THOR is unique in having developed an evidence based protocol led solution for General Practitioners dealing with Chronic and Acute pain. The market has been overwhelmed with Pharmaceutical offerings that are directly expensive, have concomitant costs, hurt and in many cases kill patients and have low actual beneficial pain reduction.
Accordingly, Thor have developed 15 treatment protocols covering the most frequent pain ailments affecting patients in the UK.
Evidence-based protocol: The THOR proposition is to equip practices to deliver through nursing staff treatment that is proven, evidence based and efficacious with a corresponding reduction in practice and practice based commissioning costs.
ROI: On average we estimate 100 patients per GP on NSAIDs can be treated by Photomedicine.
The cost per practice per year is: |

Return on investment calculations do not include the following known costs for general practitioners, which would also significantly benefit from THOR investments.
So please consider how much does it cost your practice:
-
To refer patients with chronic and acute pain to Secondary Care – including the cost of practice based commissioning where appropriate?
-
To treat patients with short and long term chronic and acute pain with opiates, COX and COX2’?
-
In time spent with patients with recurring visits that cannot benefit from current pharmaceutical remedies with the resulting direct and concomitant costs?
To support the Practice, Thor will provide an audit of current costs and discuss in detail the potential for practice cost savings with you.
