Event Information
Overview
Work and mental health: Clinical, organisational and systemic action - for the mental health of healthcare staff and trauma-exposed workers.
Understanding the relationship between work and mental health, at individual and population levels, has never been more important. We see it in our clinical work and read it in the news. We manage it professionally too, within our organisations and staff. These challenges align at the clinical intersection of psychiatry, primary care and occupational medicine.
To explore these issues in depth, and learn from experts across the disciplines, the Occupational Psychiatry SIG is delighted to invite you to our one-day conference in September. While our core audience is psychiatrists we are always joined by occupational physicians and aligned professions are equally welcome. Book now to secure your place at this unique event!
Our first session examines the epidemiology of NHS mental health, drawing on NHS Check data, then explores clinically with the Practitioner Health Programme and a dedicated mental health service in Cambridge. We then consider occupational presentations and organisational workplace interventions, take an international comparison from Australia and host a keynote address from Dr Robin Cordell, the President of the Faculty of Occupational Medicine, to reflect on national strategic issues of work and mental health.
The afternoon begins with the perspective of medical leadership and regulation, opened with a talk from a GMC senior case examiner, myth-busting fitness to practice and progress towards a more compassionate regulator. We will hear from the BMA Consultant Committee and then from the Chief Medical Officer at South London & Maudsley, Prof Derek Tracy. We conclude the day by considering trauma-exposed workers and learn from the international aid sector, UK armed forces and a concluding perspective on workforce trauma management from Prof Neil Greenberg. We also have time for networking and refreshments together.
The conference also hosts our annual residents poster prize which will be judged and announced on the day. We look forward to meeting you in September.
