Working
Parties
Working Parties are set up by the British Pain Society Council
on a year on year basis. The Working Parties are normally made up
of Council members and members of the Society, but from time to
time the Society also invites non-member professionals who have
a specific expertise.
There are currently six Working Parties of the Society. Below is
a description of the Working Parties and a list of members for 2008-2009.
