Patient safety is a shared responsibility. By working together across disciplines and recognizing the expertise of people with lived experience, we can continue to strengthen pain care across Canada. This Canadian Patient Safety Week, we recognize everyone working to make healthcare safer, more responsive, and more person-centered.

Can live and pre-recorded online exercise help people with chronic low back pain? A Canadian-led trial found that both options could help to reduce pain, with neither format clearly outperforming the other. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/… #ChronicPain #LowBackPain #PainResearch

Calling all current members and alumni! Are you attending the World Congress on Pain in Bangkok this year? If so, we are organizing a photo op at lunch time on Wednesday, Oct 28th. We would like to call all current and former members of the Pain Centre together to create one massive photo to show our strength in the global pain community. Years from now, this photo will be part of our legacy. To participate, meet at 12 noon on the 28th, at the Pain Centre booth in the exhibitor’s hall. We estimate that the photo taking process will be no longer than 10 minutes (to get everyone lined up, etc.) so you should plan to be free by 12:15. Please keep this in mind and don’t show up at 12:30 as we will be long since finished!
