Do you know a good psychiatrist?
What makes a good psychiatrist – this challenging question is being asked by Professor Dinesh Bhugra President, Royal College of Psychiatrists who is speaking at the 2nd UK Mental Health Social Work Continuing Professional Development Conference on Friday 11 July 2008. The conference theme Mental Health Social Work: Opportunities and Challenges encompasses a wide range of topical issues.
Share your thoughts about what you believe makes a good psychiatrist and the book which has most influenced your thinking about mental health issues by completing the online survey launched by the Institute of Psychiatry Kings College. Comments from the survey will be addressed by Professor Bhugra in his presentation at the conference.
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 has framed a number of new roles including the Approved Mental Health Practitioner (AMHP), the Responsible Clinician and the Independent Mental Health Advocate. These roles could be undertaken by a broader group of professionals. What are the implications for social work practice?
