Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is our great pleasure to invite you to the 55th Annual Scientific Meeting of The British Pain Society to be held in London, United Kingdom on 13-15 June 2022.

The BPS Annual Scientific Meeting will be the ideal meeting place for all professionals in the field of pain, covering all the latest research and developments, as well as opportunities and challenges faced by the pain community.

The scientific programme of the meeting will offer a variety of sessions tailored for everyone interested in the clinical management and understanding of pain, including topical debates, lectures, workshops, and parallel sessions which will stimulate further scientific discussions.

We cannot ignore the Covid19 pandemic currently raging across the world, and as such we are planning a hybrid meeting, with Covid-compliant and safe onsite/in-person activities for those able and willing to travel. We are hoping that with progresses made in vaccinations, lesser restrictions on travel and easing of limitations on social distancing, we will be able to see many of you in person.

Besides the high-quality programme of the meeting, we are sure that you will also enjoy the sights and sounds of London and the beauty of summer in the United Kingdom. The area where the meeting will be held, Wembley, is synonymous with football and has witnessed some iconic moments in history. This is the backdrop where we will be holding the meeting and is only a few minutes away by tube to most of the attractions in London.

We look forward to extending a warm welcome to you all in London in June 2022!

On behalf of the Council and the Scientific Programme Committee
