Welcome
On behalf of the local organising committee, it gives me pleasure to invite you to join us in Wellington for the New Zealand Pain Society Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM) from
20-22 March 2025, at Te Papa Tongarewa, Wellington, New Zealand. We are also delighted to host the TOPP Day - 'The Occasional Pain Practitioner Day' which was very successfully launched in 2024. Much like weaving a kete (basket of knowledge), we hope this ASM will provide a collective opportunity to learn, reflect & connect to improve equitable outcomes in pain care for everyone. The 2025 ASM has a vital role in bringing together both local and international practitioners in the pain arena. 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 Wellington.
