This year, the 13th Congress of the European Pain Federation EFIC will be held in Budapest, Hungary from 20-22 September 2023. As Europe’s most important multi-disciplinary and multi-professional organisation in the field of pain science, we represent 38 constituent national pain societies with over 20,000 scientists, doctors, physiotherapists, nurses, psychologists, and other healthcare professionals while our core domains of activity focus on education, research and advocacy. Nurses play a crucial role in pain management, and nurse-led pain management has become increasingly important in recent years. Nurses are often the first healthcare professionals to encounter patients with pain. They are responsible for assessing the severity and type of pain and determining appropriate interventions. Nurses have a unique opportunity to build a rapport with patients, and their assessment of pain often involves more than just physical symptoms. This holistic approach to pain management is essential in providing patient-centered care, and nurses are ideally placed to take on this responsibility.
