Some info folks on Dr Bell - the keynote speaker at our upcoming conference. Dr Pamela Bell graduated in Medicine from Queens University of Belfast in 1980 and, following Junior House Officer posts in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, trained as an anaesthetist in the Northern Ireland training scheme. She was awarded the Silver Medal for first place in the Primary Examination of the Fellowship of the Faculty of Anaesthetists of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1982. On completion of her training she was appointed to the Ulster, North Down and Ards Hospitals where she established the first Pain Clinic at Bangor Hospital. In 1995 she was appointed to Musgrave Park Hospital where she established a Pain Clinic and developed a specialist interest in the management of children and adolescents with long term pain, the first in Northern Ireland. She is a past Convenor of the Northern Ireland Pain Society and chaired the CREST Guideline Development Group on the Management of Neuropathic Pain. Strongly interested in supporting training and professional development of others in the field of pain management, she was instrumental in setting up a Masters Degree in the Science and Practice of Pain at the Queens University of Belfast. Since retirement she has been actively involved in raising awareness of the burden of long term pain to the individual, their families and carers, and society through the work of the Pain Alliance of Northern Ireland of which she is the Chair. She remains committed to lobbying for access to effective pain management for all who suffer long term pain regardless of cause.
