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.
