The Society for Pediatric Pain Medicine (SPPM) supports the goals of the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia to continually advance the quality of anesthesia care, perioperative management, and, in particular, the alleviation of acute and chronic pain-related conditions in children up to 21 years of age and young adults still in the transition of care to adult practice. The Society educates anesthesiologists and other health care providers, as well as patients, families, and the general public. It offers a forum for in-depth review and regular updates of acute and chronic pain – related conditions in children. It contributes to the Society for Pediatric Anesthesia’s educational programs on a regular basis. The Society supports excellence in the provision of care by encouraging research, quality assessment and improvement, and the development of standards of care in the practice of pain medicine for children. It encourages networking and collaboration between its members. The Society encourages the participation of its membership in advocacy for all children with pain through research, professional and public education, policy development, and legislative effort. As the interests of children are often relegated to a secondary position members are asked to continually seek collaboration with other like-minded groups, as it will strengthen their efforts in advocacy. Benefits of Membership Education The Annual Meeting will offer a program presenting the latest advances affecting the care of children with acute and chronic pain. Society members are encouraged to contribute to the program by proposing topics with current controversies, recent cutting-edge research, or new developments in a broad range of therapies. Members will have access to the annual program as lectures will be stored on the website. In addition, the Society will develop educational materials for patients and family members which members will have access to on the website. Quality and Safety The Society will develop a repository of current guidelines and policies as they pertain to the practice of pediatric pain medicine. Members will be made aware of multi-center collaborations for database or clinical trials-based research intended to improve the quality of pain medicine in children. Networking Opportunity The Society desires to provide a home for anesthesiologists and other health care providers involved in research or the delivery of care for children with acute or chronic pain. Collaboration between professionals of various disciplines will be in the best interest of the patients we care for. Expertise in pediatric pain medicine can be validated in meetings and committees and lead to wider professional recognition and development within the Society and even beyond it. Advocacy Pain in children has been poorly recognized and treated for a long time. Access to research for children has been limited. Current treatments are often based on adult paradigms without proven benefit in pediatric patients. Members are encouraged to participate in professional education, research and policy development to improve the prospects of children with pain in the near future.
