Earlier this year, the PMHA conference held two days of fantastic talks, workshops and networking at the beautiful Ettington Park Hotel
(Ettington Park Luxury Hotel Warwickshire | Hand Picked Hotels),
near Stratford-upon-Avon.
As ever, we had a varied programme with something for everyone, whether you work in Paediatrics or Psychiatry, in hospital wards, the Emergency Department or the community. There was also an opportunity for trainees to share the amazing work they'd been doing over the last year.
​
The theme of the first day of the conference was Safeguarding and Mental Health and covered topics including Neurodivergence and Child Exploitation, the Mental Health of Looked-After Children, and the Effects of the Internet on Mental Health. At the end of the day, we held our annual PMHA Conference dinner, which was not to be missed!
​
The theme of the second day of the conference was Working Together for Children’s Mental Health, and will focused on how we can build bridges between teams to deliver better, child-centred care. After presentations on a wide range of examples of good practice from around the country, from MDT clinics to regional pathways, we will then be running workshops to help you gain the skills and knowledge to build these networks in your own area.​​​
Call for Abstracts
The call for abstracts now open!
This year’s meeting will once again feature a trainee-led poster session, in which trainees can present their audits, research, or quality improvement projects. This is an excellent opportunity to showcase your work in the area of child mental health and to share best practice with interested professionals from around the country. Three abstracts will also be selected for oral presentation on Day One of the meeting (29th January).
