Department of PsychologyStudent Mental Health Conference 2024DescriptionThis 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

Social, Genetic & Developmental Psychiatry CentreUKAAN Conference April 2024. Consolidate - Integrate - InnovateDescriptionThe 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!
