Transcultural psychiatry SIG (TSIG) events

Find out more about the TSIG's upcoming and past events.

Culture Talk

Let’s talk about culture, psychiatry and everything in between.

The Transcultural Psychiatry Special Interest Group (TSIG) is delighted to introduce Culture Talk, up to four free, informal drop-in sessions each year for TSIG members.

These sessions will provide a welcoming space to connect with colleagues, share perspectives and explore transcultural issues relevant to psychiatry and mental health. We hope they will foster open conversation, shared learning and greater engagement with transcultural psychiatry.

Join our first Culture Talk

Wednesday 28 October 2026 @ 2:00 pm

We hope Culture Talk will become a regular space for thoughtful conversation, shared learning and connection across the TSIG community.

TSIG drop-ins are informal sessions, hosted on Teams or Zoom by members of the TSIG executive committee.

Joining details are shared a couple of days before the sessions. Please make a note of the session you have signed up to in your calendar in the meantime.

We kindly ask that you please only sign-up to a drop-in if you are able to attend. There is a limit of 30 places per session. If you find you have signed up to a session that you can no longer attend, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing sigs@rcpsych.ac.uk.

We look forward to seeing you there.
