Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are delighted to announce the 16th London MSK & Spine Pain Symposium and Cadaver Workshop, taking place 11–13 June 2026.

The scientific programme will be hosted at the Royal College of Physicians, London, on 11–12 June, followed by a full-day cadaver workshop on Saturday, 13 June, at the King’s College London Anatomy Facilities (Guy’s Campus).

Our congress, established in 2005, aims to educate healthcare professionals and promote the development of safe, high-quality, and cost-effective interventional pain and neuromodulation techniques, improving physician competence and patient access to advanced therapies.

Day One – Advances in Spine and Pain Interventional Procedures

The first day will focus on advances in interventional pain and spine procedures. The format will consist of short, focused presentations (“snap talks”) of approximately 10 minutes each, delivered by leading experts from the UK and internationally. This format is designed to maximise interaction, with ample time allocated for discussion, questions, and exchange of ideas between faculty and delegates.

Day Two – Regenerative Medicine and Ultrasound

The morning session will focus on regenerative medicine therapies and the expanding role of ultrasound in pain and MSK practice, covering current evidence, indications, and emerging clinical applications.

In the afternoon session, participants will rotate through eight practical stations, including ultrasound-guided procedures and regenerative medicine techniques, providing hands-on learning with expert faculty guidance.

Day Three – Hands-On Cadaver and Ultrasound Workshop

The final day will provide an advanced hands-on cadaver workshop, focusing on a range of interventional pain procedures. Participants will have the opportunity to practice techniques including neuromodulation approaches, Basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA), and other advanced pain interventions, alongside ultrasound-guided procedures performed on cadaveric specimens.

This session is designed to enhance anatomical understanding and procedural confidence under the supervision of internationally recognised experts.

The London MSK & Spine Pain Symposium provides a unique platform for clinicians from pain medicine, sports medicine, orthopaedics, neurosurgery, radiology, and related specialities to exchange ideas, refine interventional skills, and build collaborative networks.

We look forward to welcoming you to London in June 2026.
