North West Webinar Autism in Adult Mental Health

Event Information

We are delighted to announce Dr Conor Davidson will be speaking at this event.

Dr Conor Davidson is a consultant psychiatrist in general adult psychiatry, and clinical lead of the Leeds Autism Diagnostic Service.  He was appointed Autism Champion for the Royal College of Psychiatrists in May 2021.  The focus of this work is on improving autism awareness and autism training for psychiatrists.  He chairs the College cross-faculty autism group and sits on the NHS England national autism strategy steering group. 

Before joining LADS fulltime in 2020, Conor was autism lead for Tees, Esk & Wear Valley NHS trust.  The TEWV autism project launched a large scale training program and the autism Clinical Link Pathway; its achievements were recognised with a National Autistic Society award in 2019.    

 

Conor has published a number of journal articles and book chapters with a particular focus on autism and mental health.   Conor is a lifelong Leeds United supporter, which – after many years of disappointment – is finally starting to pay off. 

 

The focus of the webinar will be an overview of the current ‘state of play’ in adult autism and how this impacts on psychiatrists.  Including changes in the demographic profile and diagnostic rate of autism, mandatory autism training, and reasonable adjustments in mental health settings.   

Joining instructions for the event will be sent out the week of the event.
