The Pain Forum was launched in 2000 after the recognition that pain was of interest to a large number of healthcare professionals in the greater Bath area. These meetings have been well supported by clinicians in the local area. We invite world leaders in pain research to present their work and discuss developments. These speakers are chosen for the high quality of their research and their ability to communicate it well.

Pain Forum is a quarterly, free public lecture series that we have maintained and hosted for more than 20 years.

We host high profile speakers from research and clinical practice in pain. We anticipate that our audience will be professionals, but anyone is welcome.

The lectures are delivered online via Zoom, to allow maximum access across the country and beyond. If you are interested, keep an eye on X (Twitter!) @BCPSBath, or email us at ruh-tr.RNHRDPainEducation@nhs.net to get on the mailing list.

This lecture is presented with the Bristol and Bath Chronic Pain Health Improvement Team, a regional group of specialist researchers and clinicians in the field of chronic pain.
