Pain is both the most common reason people seek healthcare and the leading cause of disability in the world.
Pain affects more than 30% of people worldwide, accounting for at least 5% of total disability-adjusted life years in New Zealand.
The costs of living with persistent pain in NZ have been estimated to be around $20,000 per person or $15 billion/year.
Sadly medicines and surgery are not able to bring resolution of pain for many.
We have arranged a number of Pre-Conference Workshops on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th March; with the NZPS Conference starting on Friday 20th through to Saturday 21st March 2026
Join us and help us connect and come together to enhance our collective ability to understand and manage pain.
We look forward to seeing you in Christchurch.
