Hannah Capon delivers a comprehensive recap of the 2024 Chronic Pain Symposium, a four-day event organized by Canine Arthritis Management (CAM). She explains its objectives, the interdisciplinary approach to chronic pain in animals, and the inclusion of various topics such as osteoarthritis, visceral, dental, and dermatological pain. Hannah discusses the planning, team efforts, guest speakers, session highlights, and the resources available for continued learning via CAM’s LearnWorlds platform.

Key Takeaways

1. Interdisciplinary Approach: Chronic pain management requires a collaborative effort across veterinary professionals, behaviorists, caregivers, and more. This event emphasized breaking down professional silos.
2. Massive Undertaking: The symposium took over 6 months of planning and involved a wide global network, offering 4 days of content, including Bite Size Friday with 30–40 mini lectures. 
3. Accessibility Matters: Live attendance was free, ensuring inclusivity. Recordings and additional materials are available through VIP access on CAM’s LearnWorlds platform.
4. Content Variety: Lectures covered topics from osteoarthritis and palliative care to behavioral science and ethics. Expert sessions featured in-depth exploration of pharmaceutical, surgical, and integrative modalities.
5. Global Impact & Ongoing Access: Content will be translated into 12 languages and remains accessible post-event. The entire package (lectures + notes + CE credits + CAM Member Zone) is available for £125.
