The Lancet Low Back Pain Series Open Meeting - Tuesday, July 2, 2019 - (Register in order to join us at 12:00 for lunch)
Time: 1:00 to 4:00 pm
Location: Faculty of Medicine, Université Laval
This open meeting will discuss the background to The Lancet series, its main messages and discuss media, policy and clinician responses. Small group discussions will focus on how we can keep up the momentum generated by the series in order to reduce the burden of low back pain on a global scale. We will also outline plans for a second Lancet series that focuses on measuring progress and will include research studies that address the principal research questions outlined in the first series.
