Pain is a subject that sparks debate in almost endless ways. From the best approach to treatment, to service delivery, to the very nature of pain itself and to what it says about human’s inherent capacity to care and be compassionate and kind. Many such debates are the focus of our meetings. On this page, we provide some further resources and literature to inform, interest and inspire. Much of this material has come from recommendations by members and used to be circulated by e-mail. We hope that these links will be a useful addition to the website.
Please note that inclusion of an item on this page does not represent endorsement by the British Pain Society or the Philosophy & Ethics SIG; nor do the views expressed necessarily represent those of the Society or SIG.
Items are listed in no particular order. We welcome new contributions that will be of interest to the SIG's membership. Please contact Matthew Jay if you have something.
Finally, all items are hosted by third parties and links will open to third party websites in new windows. While we cannot therefore guarantee the continued availability of any particular item, please e-mail Matthew Jay if you find that any of the links are broken and we will do our best to update them.
