She is the Associate Chief of Nursing Research and a Senior Scientist in the Child Health Evaluative Sciences program at The Hospital for Sick Children. Dr Stevens is the Chair of the Certification Committee for ChildKind International. Dr Stevens focuses her research on the assessment and management of pain in hospitalized preterm newborn infants, and the effectiveness of knowledge translation (KT) strategies for changing clinical outcomes.Gareth Hathway is a neuroscientist studying how pain in early life shapes experiences throughout the life course. He studied for a BSC (Hons) in Pharmacology at The University of Cardiff before studying for a PhD at The University of Cambridge. His post-doctoral work was carried out at UCL where he began to develop his interest in the maturation of endogenous pain control systems. Since 2009, he has led his own laboratory at The University of Nottingham continuing his work in early life pain physiology. As well as being an active researcher, he teaches on undergraduate programs in Neuroscience and Medicine and is the Course Director of Neuroscience BSc (Hons) and MSci (Hons) programs.Dr Zempsky is Endowed Chair for Pain and Palliative Medicine at Connecticut Children's Medical Center, and a Professor of Pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. His division was designated a Center of Clinical Excellence by the American Pain Society in 2014, and is one of the first programs to receive the ChildKind certification focused on improving pain management for all children. Dr Zempsky was elected as Chair of the Pediatric Special Interest Group of the American Pain Society in 2015. He was appointed as the pediatric representative to the Physicians Medical Marijuana Board for the State of Connecticut in 2016. In 2017 he received the M1 mentoring grant from the University of Connecticut.

In summary, the Oxford Textbook of Pediatric Pain is one of the few books for pediatricians, solely dedicated to pediatric pain management
