Welcome to the web page of EFICWhat Is EFIC? (European Federation of IASP® Chapters) The European Federation of IASP® Chapters (EFIC®) is a multidisciplinary professional organisation in the field of pain science and medicine, consisting of the 36 European Chapters of National Pain Societies of IASP (International Association for the Study of Pain). Established in 1993, EFIC’s 36 constituent chapters represent Pain Societies from 36 countries and close to 20,000 scientists, physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, psychologists and other healthcare professionals across Europe, who study pain and treat patients suffering from pain. EFIC’s Aim EFIC’s aims are to advance research, education, clinical management and professional practice related to pain, and to serve as an authoritative, scientifically based resource concerning policy issues related to pain and its management.EFIC Activities

The European Journal of Pain (EJP) The European Journal of Pain published since January 1997, has an Impact Factor of 3.94 and is ranked No. 4 in the category Anaesthesiology by ISI (©Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Reports, Science Edition (2011)). It currently publishes 10 volumes per year and is cited in Pub Med and other leading scientific reference facilities on the web. The online subscription to the EJP is free of charge for EFIC National Society Members and can be claimed by registering at the official EFIC website www.efic.org. More information on the printed version of the EJP can be found on the EJP website.

The “European Against Pain” Initiative (EAP) Launched in 1991 at the European Parliament, the concept behind the “Europe against Pain” (EAP) initiative is to focus on activities at European Union level, in order to use EU institutions and programs in the field of public health to leverage our efforts at influencing knowledge, opinion, and ultimately policy and practice concerning pain at both pan-European and national levels. This initiative brings together pain professionals, patients, and industry to work towards the common objective through the agreed modalities. These partnerships undertake educational and European public affairs activities with the view to raise the profile of pain on future health agendas in Europe. This is achieved through: Informative Tools The 1st step, essential to all aspects of the EAP initiative, was the preparation of information resources on pain and its management. EFIC produces on a periodical basis and for specific campaigns, various information resources including: o Briefing packets (media packs) for representatives who will meet face-to-face with EU decision makers.

o Compilations of existing published data on pain and its costs in Europe in an easily accessible summary format.

o Other information for pain patients and the general public on the steps to pain treatment. Network Dissemination EFIC has identified and is in contact with key decision makers in the European arena. EFIC has recruited skilled and high profile spokespersons from among the members of EFIC, who are willing to represent our message effectively. This network enables the planning across Europe of the “European Year Against Pain (EYAP)”.

In addition, EFIC’s biennial pan-European conference is an appropriate venue to announce the continuing EAP plans.

The European Year Against Pain (EYAP) Each year, EFIC launched a centrally coordinated event, namely “The European Week against Pain (EWAP)”. The first European Week against Pain was launched at the European Parliament in 1991 and since then, European Chapters from all over Europe have held national activities each year during the defined week to gain attention amongst the medical community, the general public, and local media. Each EWAP has a defined theme and EFIC provides briefing packs on that theme, so that a general message can be unified across Europe. In 2011 EFIC promoted the theme “Chronic Back Pain”. From 2012 onwards, the EWAP will become “The European Year Against Pain” and the respective theme of 2012 will be “Visceral Pain”.

Pain in Europe – EFIC’S Congress Since 1995, EFIC has held 7 congresses with the next one “Pain in Europe VIII” planned in Florence 9-12 October 2013. EFIC’s congress has become a popular forum in Europe attracting over 4,000 participants in 2011 and with an average growth of 30% for each congress. Congress participants are mainly from Europe, but with representation from 73 countries worldwide in 2011, the congress can be viewed as an international educational exchange on pain issues. For further information on the next congress, please consult the EFIC website or Kenes website. EFIC Educational Initiatives

Fellowship for Members of EFIC Chapters: Individual fellowships for medical doctors supporting trainings at important European pain centres to learn and practice clinical pain management. Application forms can be found on the EFIC website.

EFIC Pain Schools: EFIC Pain Schools are aimed at young European medical doctors and paramedical personnel who are interested in the field of pain and want to get more experience. These are at least 4-5 days international schools regarding treatment of pain patients and all aspects of pain development. To be eligible for the school, you need to be an EFIC Chapter member. Successful applicants may be eligible for a grant.

Master Classes: Advanced-level courses aimed at European medics who have at least 2 years of experience in chronic pain management. All courses will be taught in English so proficiency in English is required. Successful applicants may be eligible for a travel and accommodation grant. Master classes will be announced on the EFIC website.

Educational Support Grant: EFIC carries out a programme of “bottom up” educational support grants to improve the scope and availability of education of pain clinicians of all disciplines with regard to pain and its management in Eastern Europe. Three grants will be given, each of a value up to € 12,500, and the request for bids is being circulated. The projects can act as pilot programs for further development of education projects. Application for grants has to be submitted at least 6 months before the beginning of the project. Grants will not be awarded for projects that are in the planning stages only and specific start and completion dates will be required.
