The Societal Impact of Pain partners are committed to engaging in the Healthy Workplaces - Lighten the Load 2020-22 campaign to improve the working lives of the millions of workers across Europe suffering from MSDs and pain from other conditions and their consequences.
Influencing policies and practices to improve employment conditions and the social integration of pain patients is a key objective for SIP in 2021 and beyond.
