Upcoming meeting
Mood Disorder Workshop
This two-day workshop follows on from similar workshops in 2016 and 2017 designed for Consultant Psychiatrists or Senior Psychiatric Registrars. We will extend knowledge and themes from the previous workshops while still providing a stand-alone educational package. We will examine all aspects of the clinical psychiatric management of mood disorders.
