Programme Summary

Please note, a full programme will be released late November.
Keynote presentations include:
  • Eight years since the Lancet Series; has back pain practice changed to be the right fit?
  • Platelet rich plasma treatments for chronic pain conditions - does this fit?
  • The right fit for each patient - the uniformity myth in pain programmes
  • Making it a perfect fit: strategies for adherence to pain self-management
  • Spinal cord stimulators:what does the evidence say?
  • Reducing low value care for pain.
 
Other sessions include:
 
The Right Fit for a Healthy Body and Weight
The bidirectional relationship between pain and obesity is increasingly recognised. However the solution is often thought to be to refer to a dietician for a couple of appointments. This session explores some of the many reasons that is not always a good fit for our patients and potential solutions.
 
When the Fit Isn’t Quite Right
When a patient is not ready for change or requests unsuitable treatments, how do you respond? Learn from experts in law, addiction, and psychology how to maintain compassion, set firm boundaries, and use communication strategies that are the right fit for fostering long-term recovery and reducing harm.
 
The Right Fit for All Our Communities
Strong relationships are key to reducing disparity. This session provides insights into different communities and ways to ensure a good cultural fit for every patient.
 
The Right Fit for Her
We explore the unique challenges women face with a focus on considerations for maternal birth injury, gynaecological procedure pain, and the impact of menopause.
