Primary Care Mental Health Conference

Our Primary Care group hosted a Mental Health Conference, ‘To treat, or not to treat’ at Southampton General Hospital on 11 April 2018.

Questions regarding over-treatment and under-treatment are particularly pertinent in the primary care of mental health problems. Our keynote speakers were Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham (Keele University) and Professor Irwin Nazareth (University College London).

Professor Carolyn Chew-Graham delivered her keynote - ’To treat or not to treat?’ - co-morbid anxiety and depression in physical conditions' in the morning session.

Professor Irwin Nazareth delivered his keynote - ’Mental health and pregnancy—to treat or not to treat' during the afternoon session.

There were a further eight presentations throughout the day and nine posters for viewing over extended lunch.

Thank you to all who presented and attended our conference.
