Our 10-year anniversary
Transitional Pain Service Knowledge Exchange
The Transitional Pain Service (TPS) team at the Toronto General Hospital hosted a 1-day conference celebrating 10 years of our world-first multidisciplinary program focused on reducing pain and disability post-surgery and preventing persistent opioid use. The event took place on April 22, 2024 at MaRS Centre Auditorium in Toronto.
The conference brought together clinicians, scientists, patients, and policy makers with shared interests in chronic pain treatment and research.
The TPS team showcased the results of our Health Canada Substance Use and Addictions Program Grant with a focus on our leading innovations in post-surgical care, chronic pain management, and opioid stewardship.
