EFIC
The European Federation of IASP Chapters (EFIC) is a multidisciplinary
professional organisation in the field of pain science and medicine,
made up of the 29 European chapters of IASP (International Association
for the Study of Pain).
The British Pain Society is its British Chapter.
Established in 1993, EFIC's 31 constituent chapters represent
close to 20,000 scientists, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists,
psychologists and other healthcare professionals across Europe
who study pain and treat patients in pain. EFIC's aims are
to advance research, education, clinical management and professional
practice related to pain, and to serve as an authoritative,
scientifically based resource concerning policy issues related
to pain and its management.

EFIC Societal Impact of Pain
About the symposium “Societal Impact
of Pain”
In May 2010 European Federation of
IASP® Chapters (EFIC®) hosted a high profile meeting
of almost 200 health specialists and representatives from
28 EU countries including Europe’s highest ranking health
authorities to discuss the "Societal Impact of Pain"
(SIP). The objectives of the symposium were to discuss the
key challenges, goals and policy instruments with budget holders,
strategic decision makers and representatives of stakeholder
organisations to improve pain care in Europe.
In May 2011, the second edition, ‘SIP II’ will
take place in Brussels. The scientific framework of SIP II
is designed under the responsibility of the EFIC® and
the scientific program is endorsed by a number of organisations.
Grünenthal is responsible for logistical support, preparation
and organisation.
For managers and administrators involved in strategic decision-making
on pain related issues from the perspective of national healthcare
systems the symposium will be a good opportunity to network
and share best practice with healthcare authorities, insurance
companies and budget holders from all over Europe. For healthcare
professionals, patient and consumer representatives the symposium
will create a platform to interact and present their work
to improve pain care.
