The 14thSouth Thames Acute Pain Conference
The South Thames Acute Pain Group (STAPG) was foundedin 1995 by a small group of anaesthetists who were enthusiastic about providing optimal pain relief. STAPG encompasses practitioners who are working in the South Thames Healthcare Trusts and are actively engaged in acute pain management.
The Committee organises an annual conference, usually at the beginning of November and meets at least 4 times a year. The annual conference is open to all staff with an interest in pain management and would like to attract practitioners such as GPs, nurses, doctors, physiotherapists and pharmacists. The speakers have been chosen to address a variety of subjects such as regional analgesia, pharmacology, pain management in the elderly patient, but also topics such as health beliefs, neuromodulation and the role of pain services, which are constantly under scrutiny to relieve pain adequately and effectively.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide a forum for the dissemination of information on acute pain management. The conferences are supported by medical and pharmaceutical companies and provide an opportunity to discuss evolving drug treatments and technical developments. The Annual General Meeting of STAPG takes place at the end of the conference and all delegates are invited to attend.
This year’s conference will be held at the Bridgewood Manor Hotel in Walderslade Woods, Chatham, Kent which is conveniently located near the M20 and M2 motorways.
