WA Social Networking Event

Jacintha Bell, WA Director

WA’s first social networking event was a modest success, and hopefully the beginning of more opportunities for pain clinicians to meet and socialise in WA.

We met at the Prince Lane Roof Top bar on a balmy, WA spring evening. It was an unexpected climb up several flights of stairs to the roof, so we all upped our step count for the day and developed quite a thirst by the time we arrived at our destination.

We were a diverse group of 11 in total, across many disciplines. We were sharing the space with a boisterous and friendly mining group, some of whom dropped in for a chat and a little pain advice. We shared some delicious food and refreshing drinks, caught up with colleagues, and talked all things pain. It was delightful to reconnect with people in person.

We shared some ideas about pain management in WA, and about how the APS can best serve WA pain clinicians. Everyone left expressing the desire to meet up in person more often. We hope to see more APS members and clinicians with an interest in pain at the next meeting.
