Event Information
People with diagnoses of severe and complex personality disorder often require care across multiple services and prolonged inpatient treatment. Their transdiagnostic presentations of recurrent suicidality, eating disorders, neurodevelopmental conditions and substance misuse can mean hospital admission is unavoidable. Managing risk while promoting recovery can present significant clinical, ethical and relational challenges for both patients and multidisciplinary teams.
This one-day event will explore a practical, formulation-based approach to understanding and managing complexity in mental health care. Expert speakers will examine the relational factors that can influence admission, treatment and recovery, and discuss the application of these principles to eating disorders, autism, mental health law, capacity assessment, and relational prescribing.
The event is relevant to Consultant Psychiatrists, SAS Psychiatrists and Resident Doctors across all psychiatric specialties, particularly those working with patients who present with complex needs, high levels of risk, and co-occurring mental health conditions in inpatient, community or specialist settings.
After attending this event you will be able to:
- Understand the personal and economic cost of long-term hospitalisation of people with complex personality disorders, and why psychotherapeutically informed care is essential for both patients and staff in inpatient settings when admission is unavoidable.
- Understand how safety can be achieved through relational practice and a formulation based whole team approach in inpatient settings.
- Develop an ethical and psychotherapeutic understanding of the use of mental health law in people with the most complex relational disorders.
- Develop a relational approach to prescribing including safer prescribing in high-risk relational contexts with physical health co-morbidities.
- Develop a relational understanding of co-morbidities in people diagnosed with personality disorder in inpatient settings, such as eating disorders and autism
