Mental illness and Palliative care: Care gaps and complexity

This insightful conference aims to deliver informative lectures on the care gaps within palliative care and mental health. Hear from a range of expert speakers who will discuss how we can best address the care needs of patients with severe mental illness and palliative care and the complex issues which may arise with disordered eating, boundaries, relationships and acute crises.

Participants will have the opportunity to reflect and study case based discussions at the end of each presentation and within the workshops on offer. The aim of the meeting is to provide participants with an interactive study day for all healthcare professionals who work with people who have been diagnosed with both:

• Serious, severe or enduring mental illness
• Potentially life-limiting, progressive illness requiring palliative care

Promoting multiprofessional and multidisciplinary learning through hands-on workshops and case based discussions.

By attending the conference, you will:

• Gain an overview of innovations in best practice for meeting palliative needs of people with mental illness by: deepening understanding of approaches for working with people with personality disorders and or severe mental illness to deliver palliative care
• Learn from best practice examples
• Build your knowledge of the importance of personalised approaches
• Gain an awareness of current issues
• Consider how services can make it easier for people to access help

The Palliative Care and Mental Health: Annual abstract prize will also be presented and awarded at the meeting.
