BPS Study Days

The Learning in Pain Series (LIPS) is the educational programme of the British Pain Society. It will provide comprehensive learning in pain medicine as per the International Association for the Study of Pain curriculum and is organised as a series of study days to run for three years.

There will be four LIPS study days in each academic year. The LIPS Study Days are appropriate for single day attendance but it is intended that the days complement each other. There have been 9 study days so far:

2nd Study Day, 21/06/06 - Anatomy & physiology of pain applied to practice
3rd Study Day, 22/06/06 - Difficult pain problems
4th Study Day, 31/10/06 - From acute to chronic pain
