Virtual Pain Education Summit

For over 25 years, the European Pain Federation has been bringing together the most recognised experts in the field of pain science to exchange knowledge, ideas and the latest advances in the field. This year, the European Pain Federation is looking forward to organising its third Virtual Pain Education Summit on 28-29 May 2024.


The biggest online pain education event of the year features not only dedicated tracks for physicians, physiotherapists, nurses and psychologists but also offers interprofessional learning sessions - all of it based on the four EFIC Pain Curricula.
