    SOLD OUT Personality Disorder Seminar with London Division

    Event Information

    Since the publication of Personality disorder: no longer a diagnosis of exclusion by the National Institute for Mental Health England in 2003, it has been recognised that there have been systematic failings with how statutory services meet the needs of those given a diagnosis of a personality disorder.

    Have things changed over the past two decades? People with personality disorders still describe struggles accessing the right care. In parallel, clinicians can often feel underequipped to provide sufficient care.

    The London Division's Autumn conference aims to highlight the ongoing challenges faced by people with personality disorders and update you with the latest research and clinical practice guidelines so you can provide the best care for these individuals.

    You can now view the event booklet.
