Proposals for British Pain Society publications

The British Pain Society aims to produce contemporary guidance, supported by available evidence, on clinical and other pain matters.

Topic proposals for British Pain Society publications usually originate from a member of Council or a SIG chairman. There is no limit to the number of publications the Society produces each year, but part of the Communications Committee consideration process will include determining when the working party can begin work.

If the lead/Working Party Chair is not a member of Council, a Council liaison will be appointed to ensure that the publication progresses according to the timescale. The lead should not formally invite collaboration from any organisation prior to obtaining approval from Council. The process should include a wide consultation process.

The proposal process
The lead must complete a British Pain Society publication proposal form and submit it to the Chair of the Communications Committee, Dr Eloise Carr, by post to The British Pain Society, Third Floor, Churchill House, 35 Red Lion Square, London WC1R 4SG or by email to rikkewarming@britishpainsociety.org

The Communications Committee will vet the proposals and submit to Council for ratification at a Council meeting.
