Brussels 3-4 May 2011
This first symposium on the Societal Impact of Pain (SIP) in 2010 raised awareness of the enormous pain related costs in all member states. This second symposium discusses ways for decision makers to adopt a much wider, strategic perspective for service prevision and resource allocation.
The 2011 SIP symposium is a two day event with presentations, workshops and panel discussions. Professionals, policy makers and stakeholders will have the opportunity to share ideas of best practice and collaborate to produce recommendations to improve the effectiveness of policy measures for pain care. FMA UK will be participating as a member of ENFA the European Network of Fibromyalgia Associations.
The symposium is being broadcast live on the website on Tues 3rd May from 1.00 and on Wed until 4.00. www.sip-meetings.org. Times are GMT +1

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
