The British Pain Society (BPS) is a multidisciplinary community that brings together a diverse group of clinicians, scientists and those with lived pain experience to improve the knowledge and understanding of pain and its individual and societal impact, contributing to public health policy and clinical practice towards the worthy aim of alleviating pain-related suffering.
Current membership reflects the modern, multidisciplinary approach to pain management in its broadest sense with Anaesthesia, General Practice, Rheumatology, Nursing, Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy and Psychology represented.
The society was founded in 1967. The BPS undertakes a wide range of activities, from setting standards in clinical care, acting as a Key Stakeholder for NHS consultation programmes, offering conferences, meetings, courses and webinars as well as publishing the British Journal of Pain and Pain News. It also seeks to collaborate with similar organisations nationally and internationally within the healthcare arena and with non-governmental agencies
