I've been quiet on here recently for obvious reasons. I'm in the process of switching to other platforms (links in my profile). Hopefully we'll see a new community flourish @GravenNielsen @DrEdKeogh @MorlionBart @AsbjornDrewes @RenemanMichiel @PaulCameronPain @bronafullen @MH_DK
It has been a pleasure to serve under successive Presidents of @EFIC_org who represent excellence in research, education and clinical practice.

Excited to be here at the @IASPpain congress in Amsterdam. Lots of motivated young pain researchers here. Will post my experiences under this thread
Nice to see @EFIC_org’s work in launching the European Week Against Pain acknowledged in @IASPpain’s 50 year anniversary timeline. Credit to the late David Niv for launching the first major pain advocacy project in Europe @SIP_PainPolicy

Great work, @MaryOKeeffe007 and @placeboproject! Find out more about this research collaboration @EFIC_org is involved in here: europeanpainfederation.eu/ef…
Amazingly, the Commission President DOES refer to pain medicines in her plan for the next 5 years! Most likely she is referring to access to basic generics in the context of health crises, but @EFIC_org is keen to be involved to offer expert advice on access to pain treatment.
Without looking, take a guess - President @vonderleyen issued a 5-year plan for her next term as head of the @EU_Commission - did she mention pain medicines in this plan?

Crazy day in the EFIC office yesterday. Recording 7 different clinical cases for educational videos with patient actors and our distinguished Examiners for the EDPM playing the clinicians. Here I am playing a low back pain patient undergoing clinical examinations.
If you're an #EFICAcademy member, you'll get to see my portrayal of various biopsychosocial aspects of chronic pain. Don't say I don't give my all to this job! @EFIC_org @MaryOKeeffe007 @bronafullen @Patrice_Forget @joanneOBKelly @AsbjornDrewes @MH_DK @FeliciaJCox
