The APDP Annual Conference 2025 will be held on Tuesday 3rd June 2025, at the ICC Wales, in Newport. It is being held in conjunction with the British Pain Society’s Annual Scientific Meeting. All APDP members who contribute to pain research in the UK are invited to attend. Registration for the APDP Annual Conference is free of charge, but spaces are limited.
This will be a Scientific Conference, aiming to share new scientific knowledge and ideas on pain mechanisms. Presentations will position research within the context of the real world and the needs of people with lived experience of pain. It will enable us to share knowledge and bring together diverse perspectives across the broad range of disciplines and stakeholder groups in APDP.
This academic conference will showcase the spectrum of key outputs from APDP community members through:
- short oral presentations
- poster presentations
Attendees will be contributing to the diverse research into pain mechanisms that characterises APDP. Presenters are briefed to ensure that all attendees can benefit from their presentations, while not shying away from technical detail and current controversies. The conference will firmly place mechanistic research within the context of lived experience of pain.
The conference is open to all APDP members. It is FREE to attend, but pre-registration is required. Preference will be given to delegates who are presenting their work through posters or invited oral presentations. A limited number of travel bursaries are available for early career researchers and people with lived experience of pain who are actively involved in APDP research. Please register now as places are limited!
The APDP Annual Conference is a benefit that is open only to members of the APDP community. To become an APDP community member, follow the link HERE . British Pain Society membership is not required for APDP Annual Conference attendance.
