The British Pain Society is delighted to invite submissions for parallel sessions/workshops at the 58th Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) from 3-5 June 2025 in Wales.

Please submit your proposal by submission deadline: 18 November 2024 23:59 (GMT).

These guidelines have been generated to guide you through the submission process.

This event serves as a platform for healthcare professionals, researchers, educators, and students to come together and share insights, recent practices, research developments, and innovations in the field of pain. We particularly welcome submissions that demonstrate how pain research can effectively influence and enhance practice at all levels. We also encourage diverse and creative proposals that explore advancements across biological, behavioural, social, and interdisciplinary approaches relevant to our understanding of pain and pain management.

We are also keen for these sessions to enable discussions and potential collaborations that will contribute to the ongoing progress in providing effective care and support for individuals experiencing pain. As such our ASM is in-person event, and by making a submission you understand that all speakers are aware that they will be expected to present in person.
