“It is a great privilege to serve as Scientific Programme Committee chair for the 2021 EFIC Congress. I have a long track record of serving the International Association for the Study of Pain, and I’m looking forward to this fresh challenge. EFIC is the key pain meeting in Europe and it will be the largest pain congress in 2021. I look forward to showcasing the most cutting edge science within a dynamic and engaging programme.”
