Pain Forum
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.
Information for our next Pain Forum event has not yet been released. Please keep checking back for information regarding future events or contact us to be added to our mailing list at: ruh-tr.RNHRDPainEducation@nhs.net
