Pain Summit 2011
On Tuesday, 22 November 2011, the Pain Summit 2011 is being held at Central Hall, Westminster. This is a joint initiative by the Chronic Pain Policy Coalition (CPPC), the British Pain Society, the Faculty of Pain Medicine and the Royal College of General Practitioners.
The aim of the day is to bring together policymakers, commissioners, professionals and patient groups to raise awareness of the prevalence and implications of acute and chronic pain across England and to highlight the challenges in developing services for people living with pain. The event will lead to a set of actions to improve the quality of life and management of people living with chronic pain in England, culminating in a post-summit report to be circulated to policymakers and healthcare professionals next year. Further details, including the day’s programme, can be found on the Pain Summit website.
