Society for Back Pain Research (SBPR) update

We are excited to invite you to the Society for Back Pain Annual Meeting, which will be held at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, 13th-14th June 2024. This meeting is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest research in back pain and network with other key professionals and researchers in the field.

This year’s meeting is titled ‘Innovation in Research and Management of Spine Pain’

We have an impressive line-up of keynote speakers this year, including

Dr David Hohenschurz-Schmidt from Imperial College and University College of Osteopathy London, who will be discussing innovations in non-pharmacological trials and the roles of explanatory and pragmatic designs. Dr Liba Sheeran from Cardiff University will be presenting on advances in digital and health technologies for management of spine pain. Finally, Professor Tim Holsgrove from the University of Exeter will be discussing complex physiological loading of the spine.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an SBPR meeting without the Friday afternoon debate, the topic for discussion this year is ‘Technology, is it a help or a hindrance in research and management of LBP?’

In addition to these keynote speakers, there will be the normal excellent variety of presentations and posters covering the latest research on back pain, innovation, and best practices for managing patients with back pain. You will also have the opportunity to network with colleagues in the field and share your own research and seek collaborative opportunities.
