27-29 May 2011 - Destination Maastricht

We are delighted to announce our 6th International Travelling Pain Symposium which is heading to the old Roman town of Maastricht in the Netherlands on 27-29 May 2011.













We have worked hard to find three venues for the symposium's expanded scientific programme, from the historic Chateau Neercanne on the outskirts of Maastricht to the town's University Hospital, home to one of Europe's most impressive pain departments.










View from the terrace at Neercanne

Twelve world class speakers will be talking on a broad range of pain topics including pharmacological innovations, interventional pain medicine and neuromodulation treatments. In addition faculty will be running workshops in the symposium carriage on Eurostar, between London and Brussels, exploring latest innovations and teaching practical skills.

We look forward to exceeding all your expectations with our trip to Maastricht in 2011. Don't miss your chance to join us, contact ciaranwazir@gmail.com a registration form.
