Dear Reader,
Funding for pain research is absolutely essential in order to move towards a healthcare system with improved outcomes, where quality of patient care is better informed by science and led by the needs of the patients. With that in mind, we are pleased to announce that this edition of Pain Matters is guest-edited by Lesley Colvin, co-lead of the University of Dundee Chronic Pain Research Group along with David Walsh, the Director of the Advanced Pain Discovery Platform (APDP).
