Intellectual disability
We're here to support psychiatrists working in intellectual disability services across Scotland.
Our membership includes Consultants, Specialty Doctors and Resident Doctors (Core and Higher Trainees in Intellectual Disability Psychiatry). We welcome any other Resident Doctors joining our meetings eg Core Trainees, Foundation Year Doctors and GP Trainees.
We have a conference annually and anyone interested in contributing should contact the Chair or Vice Chair.
