The Australasian Symposium on Neck Pain is a critical event for health care professionals, researchers and policy makers from Australia, the western Pacific and south-east Asia.

The multidisciplinary International Taskforce on Neck Pain and Associated Disorders (the Taskforce) undertook the most ambitious attempt ever considered to research the evidence around the management of neck pain and the implications for policy and practice. Its findings, which will have a significant impact on the manner in which it is perceived, treated and studied around the world, have been presented to audiences in Europe, America and Canada.

The Australasian Symposium on Neck Pain provides a unique opportunity for clinicians, researchers and policy makers in Australia, the western Pacific and south-east Asia to hear directly from members and discuss their findings. These esteemed international speakers, joined by national specialists, will deliver the results of this cutting edge research and discuss the latest issues during this important event, including:

• presentations and panel discussions by members of the Taskforce on issues surrounding neck pain and their impact from a variety of perspectives including population health, employment and injuries resulting from motor vehicle accidents
• diagnosis and treatment, including surgical and non-surgical treatment regimes and potential complications
• forecasting and new conceptual models for treating neck pain
• implications for healthcare providers and injured people
• recommendations for clinicians, researchers, patients and policy makers

The multidisciplinary, international Taskforce involved more than 50 researchers based in nine countries and represented 14 different clinical and scientific disciplines in eight universities. The group assembled the best international research data on neck pain and related disorders – specifically more than 31,000 research citations with subsequent analysis of over 1,000 studies. The Taskforce was given official status in 2002 by the Steering Committee of the Bone and Joint Decade, which is an initiative of the United Nations and the World Health Organisation.
