Parents Weekend: CWOQ: Special Panel Discussion: Easing the Pain (Parents Association)

Saturday, October 13, 2012
4:30 PM to 6 PM

Chronic pain affects the sufferer on many levels: physical, emotional, psychological, social and occupational. It is therefore imperative to manage pain well to preserve quality of life. But despite its many adverse effects, pain is often poorly controlled. McGill has long been recognized for its contributions to the study and treatment of pain. Come and join us as a bioethicist, a researcher and a nurse share their points of view on "Easing the Pain."

Margo Somerville, DCL'78, is the founding director of the McGill Centre for Medicine, Ethics, and Law and holds the Samuel Gale Chair in the Faculty of Law. She plays an active role in the development of applied ethics, in particular the study of wider ethical and legal aspects of medicine and science.

Mark Ware is an associate professor in Family Medicine and Anesthesia at McGill who practises pain medicine at the Montreal General Hospital and the Montreal Neurological Institute. He is Director of Clinical Research of the Alan Edwards Pain Management Unit at the McGill University Health Centre.

Christina Rosmus, MSc(Nursing)'95, is a Clinical Nurse Specialist at the Montreal Children's Hospital and an Assistant Professor at the McGill University School of Nursing. She was awarded the 2012 Canadian Pain Society Nursing Excellence in Pain Management Award. Her work in the field of pediatric pain has been recognized through her clinical work, as well as through publications derived from her involvement in patient care, program development and research.

A third panelist from the nursing profession will be named shortly.
