Clinical Task Forces
Our Clinical Task Forces are an important part of the Federation’s work, aiming to influence clinical practice through the dissemination of guidelines, standards documents and position papers. The Research Committee oversee this work and aim to instill strong research methodologies within each of the Task Forces to ensure the final product is robust.
When the Clinical Task Force has completed its project, it will usually be published by the European Pain Federation EFIC or within a scientific journal such as the European Journal of Pain. You can find some of our recent position papers here. We endeavour to make of these outputs open access to ensure their widest possible dissemination.
