Health Scares Meeting

Description

We are setting up this meeting to explore the role of the media during a health scare. We will discuss the challenges of defining a health scare and some examples that might fit that definition, and debate what role journalists have in helping the public to understand the issue without exacerbating anxieties. 

Please note that due to space restrictions, this meeting is invitation only. An agenda and full details will be sent by the organiser. Dinner on the 9th, and lunch on the 10th and 11th will be covered, but attendees will need to arrange and pay for their own travel and accommodation.

The health and wellbeing of Veterans, and their families, is a topic frequently discussed in parliament and in the media.  The King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) has been running a mental health focused conference for many years.

These two conferences will be held consecutively on the 13th and 14th May 2024 at Bush House. The first day will be the FiMT Research Centre conference which will be run along with our partners, RAND Europe. The second day will be the traditional King’s Centre for Military Health Research (KCMHR) Veterans’ Mental Health Conference.
Each conference will have a comprehensive agenda in order to provide delegates with an opportunity to hear the latest research, and to network with colleagues who are interested in the health, well-being and success of the Armed Forces Community.

Student Mental Health Conference 2024

Student Mental Health Conference 2024

Description

This is an informal and friendly conference, designed to bring practitioners and researchers together to talk about student mental health. The conference will create opportunities to present lessons learned from practice and research findings. We will also be carving out plenty of time to talk about plans and ideas, as well as challenges, arising in practice and research. We hope this is an opportunity to learn and to connect.

The three-day conference will focus on creating space for discussion, we have intentionally chosen a venue that gives us multiple smaller rooms, rather than a large lecture theatre. If you are hoping to sit at the back of a lecture hall and be talked at for a few days, I’m sorry, this event is not for you.

It is for you, if you’d like to talk in smaller groups with individuals who are enthusiastic and passionate about student mental health. It is for you if you’d like to connect and collaborate with others working in this world.

We will be running a programme of activities alongside the talks, to give space to be creative, to re-energise and to have structured time to get to know new people.

The conference will be catered, including tea, coffee and lunch every day. There will be a conference dinner on the first evening (10th of June). We have included this in the conference price, as we hope as many people as possible will join us.

The conference schedule is yet to be confirmed, but we expect to do something like:

10th – Midday to 5.30pm (or to 10pm including additional activities and dinner).

11th – 9am – 5.30pm

12th – 9.30am – 3.00pm

BHI Executive Education Programme: Causal Modelling and Evaluation 2024

Description

Course Aim: 
Much of applied health and social research is aimed at estimating causal effects of risk factors or interventions (treatments, programmes, policies etc.). This includes assessments carried out by research organisations to inform their strategies and help with their management and funding decisions (policy and programme evaluation). However, it is not always clear whether the quantity targeted in a particular analysis/assessment has a causal interpretation and even if that is the case, whether it can be estimated without bias from the study data. For example, findings from observational studies are frequently criticised for lacking confounding control. 

This course will review statistical designs and analyses that enable valid causal effect estimation, including Propensity Scoring and Mendelian Randomisation in observational studies, methods for dealing with non-compliance in trials, Mediation Analysis and some Quasi-experimental designs. We will focus on methods that are easily accessible to the applied researcher. Throughout methods will be motivated and demonstrated with real data examples from health research. The course will use Stata although analyses are easily translatable to other general-purpose statistical software packages.

BHI Executive Education Programme Natural Language Processing (NLP) 2024

Description

Course Aim:

The course provides an introduction to the nature of medical text, and the technical and organisational challenges encountered when processing.

The course will be based around practical examples and widely used NLP tools.

The course aims to provide an introduction to the major techniques of natural language processing, and to provide participants with the skills to create their own NLP applications, using both rules based and statistical approaches. Methods will be introduced for extracting structured information from text, and for automatically classifying text, together with the selection of data for training and for evaluation.

The course will discuss aspects of NLP that are specific to medical and biomedical texts, and develop a critical awareness of the issues associated with these texts. Participants will be equipped with the skills needed to analyse their own language processing problems, to design and test solutions, and to understand the limitations of those solutions.

 

The course will provide a practical instruction in the use of some widely used tools in NLP, including nltk (a Python toolkit).

UKAAN Conference April 2024. Consolidate - Integrate - Innovate

UKAAN Conference April 2024. Consolidate - Integrate - Innovate

Description

The UK Adult ADHD Network (UKAAN) will host a 3 day conference from 16th to 18th April 2024, which will take place at the Mermaid Conference and Events Centre in London. The venue is situated between the City and the West End, on the North Bank of the Thames, and enjoys spectacular views towards the Tate Modern, Globe Theatre and the Millennium Bridge, and will celebrate 15 years of the UK Adult ADHD Network, an organisation that has brought adult ADHD into the hearts and minds of mental health professionals in the UK and beyond. 

The first day of the conference will reflect on the last few years working in this exciting and rapidly changing field, with the unique backdrop of Covid, and CONSOLIDATE what we have experienced and learnt. The theme of INTEGRATION will be the theme for day 2, with symposia on mental health and somatic comorbidity, ADHD in women and a unique look at different ways that we can integrate a psychosocial focus into our work with patients. Day 3, the theme INNOVATE, will bring us to the cutting-edge of our speciality, looking at the service models of the future, and how digital technology is impacting and influencing the way we work in adult ADHD. 

We will also provide a diagnostic assessment and pharmacological treatment update, looking at the latest guidance as to what constitutes a gold standard adult ADHD assessment, as well as changes to the landscape of pharmacological management. 

This extensive range of topics will be delivered by prominent opinion leaders and internationally recognised clinical experts and investigators. 

This is the first conference UKAAN is running since the dark years of Covid, and we are determined that it will be one to remember!
