National Student Psychiatry Conference

The annual National Student Psychiatry Conference (NSPC) is a great opportunity to meet senior psychiatrists and students from other medical schools, and for the chance to learn more about different areas within psychiatry.

We are pleased to announce that Kent and Medway Medical School (KMMS) are the hosts for the NSPC 2026! The NSPC will be held on Saturday 24 January to Sunday 25 January 2026.

The overall aim of the conference is to:

  • increase awareness of psychiatry as a career
  • improve delegates’ knowledge of psychiatry
  • provide an opportunity for delegates to meet and network with peers and psychiatrists of all levels.
