IASP’s Pain Awareness Month campaign was seen by more than 70,000 people. If you’re not already following IASP on social media for daily updates, resources, and information, you can find links to connect with IASP at the bottom of this newsletter.
September also saw the successful completion of the IASP COVID-19 and Pain virtual events. Recordings of all COVID-19 and Pain sessions are available as a free educational resource on the IASP website. Continuing the focus on COVID-19 and Pain, IASP has been invited to provide a guest lecture at the Global Pain Day, an IME education program organized by GSK Consumer Healthcare, taking place on 13 October. My Global Pain Day presentation, as IASP President, will provide a global perspective on COVID-19 and Pain. My session is scheduled to start at 09:30 EST (14:30 UK time) and I will be introduced by IASP Past-President, Dr. Lars Arendt-Nielsen.
Planning for the 2022 World Congress on Pain is in full swing and will take place face-to-face in the exciting city of Toronto. Start thinking about your 2022 World Congress topical workshop ideas, submission opens 18 October, submit your session proposal for a 90-minute workshop. Topical workshops provide attendees the opportunity to learn the latest in multidisciplinary, cutting-edge approaches to pain research, clinical treatments, and translation from research to practice.
I look forward to seeing the input from our pain community on the latest research and treatment from around the world.
