Equity in pain care distribution – Applying a public health ethics lens
The John Bonica Named Lecture is offered to an Australian guest speaker. The Bonica lecture has been a feature of the APS ASM since 1984. John Bonica himself presented the first lecture, and generally the honour is bestowed on an Australian scientist/pain clinician.
Dr Bonica’s vision was to provide an egalitarian, interdisciplinary, and international forum to improve knowledge about pain, improve the education of health-care providers, and improve the care of patients. Widely regarded as the Founding Father of Pain Medicine, his passion lead to the incorporation of the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP) in May 1974. There is a brief synopsis of Dr Bonica’s life and achievements on the IASP website.
Dr Susie Lord is a Specialist Pain Medicine Physician, leading the Children’s Complex Pain Service, John Hunter Children’s Hospital, and a Conjoint Senior Lecturer, School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Newcastle.
