Invitation to APS ASM 2012 Melbourne

On behalf of the Local Organising Committee I would like to invite you to Melbourne to attend the Australian Pain Society 2012 Annual Scientific Meeting.

"Integrated Perspective of Pain" will be the overriding theme of the Australian Pain Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting, to be held on the banks of the Yarra at the newly completed Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, from 1 - 4 April 2012.

Keynote speakers will explore the evolving issues in pain management, with a view to updating modern pain practice.  Of note, topics will include how to engage people in their health care, improve patient and staff education, and be informed of the policy debates regarding pain management service delivery.  International speakers from France, Canada and the U.S, with expertise in neuropathic pain assessment and management will update us with their knowledge, including the benefits of involvement in national collaborations.  Integrating research and staff education into a busy practice will be addressed.

I look forward to welcoming you to Melbourne - a vibrant and energetic city, renowned for it's restaurants, café-filled laneways, cool bars, local art galleries, spacious parks and village-like inner suburbs, each with its own special character.

Dr Malcolm Hogg
Conference Convenor
