Working Parties

Working Parties are set up by the British Pain Society Council on a year on year basis. The Working Parties are normally made up of Council members and members of the Society, but from time to time the Society also invites non-member professionals who have a specific expertise.

There are currently six Working Parties of the Society. Below is a description of the Working Parties and a list of members for 2010-2011.
