well attended, residential meeting every year.

The Faculty
Executive
Much of the day-to-day business of the Faculty is carried out by
an Executive Committee of representatives and directly elected
officers.
The Faculty takes primary responsibility within the College for
formulating policies on psychiatric services to older people and
giving advice to other bodies (including the Department of Health)
on matters pertaining to the mental health of older people.
It has an important role in supporting its members through a
rich educational programme and by providing personal support and
expert advice if members are under particular pressure in their
local services.
It also contributes fully to the College’s other activities in
maintaining training standards, research, public education and
other areas.
