Education is a core element of the work of the British Pain Society. To this end, a new peer-reviewed publication has been launched. This aims to meet a need for concise, up-to-date summaries from the field. Each edition will have a mix of topics with the aim of interesting the multidisciplinary readership. These will include the basic sciences and the different areas of clinical practice including the psychological, pharmacological and interventional. From time to time the publication will broaden its perspective and publish review articles on the cultural, sociological and economic aspects of pain.

To assist those short of time, the articles are concise with succinct summary points and readers are directed elsewhere for further information or access to cited systematic reviews and seminal works. For those who like to test their knowledge or demonstrate their educational activity, multiple choice questions are provided.
