NBPA Autumn Scientific Meeting 2024
The North British Pain Association (NBPA) held its Autumn Scientific Meeting on 8th November 2024 in Edinburgh, focusing on the theme of Pain Management Across Identities.
Thank You!
We thank the NBPA committee for organising a day of engaging talks and discussions. It was inspiring to hear about efforts across the NHS to improve access to pain management services.
Professor Sonia Cottam
A fantastic session was delivered by Professor Sonia Cottam from Pain Association Scotland. She shared her work on understanding chronic pain in prison populations. Her presentation highlighted the significant benefits for both inmates and staff, emphasising the value of tailored approaches to pain management in these unique settings.

People’s Choice Award
We are also thrilled to celebrate the success of our own Lars Williams, Pain Matters columnist, and his colleague Heather Harrison from NHS Greater Glasgow & Clyde. Their project, Pain Clinic Letters Sent Directly to Patients: A GP Perspective, was honoured with the People’s Choice Award. This recognition celebrates their innovative work to enhance patient communication and care in pain management.



Congratulations to all the contributors, and thank you to everyone who made the NBPA Autumn Scientific Meeting such a success.
