Dean's Quarterly Update
January 2025
Dear member,
I’m delighted to bring you this latest issue of the Dean’s Quarterly eNewsletter.
It contains updates on our award-winning products, highlights opportunities for members to attend exciting conferences and events, and invites you to sign up to be part of one of the new cohorts taking the Public Mental Health Leadership Certification Course.
As you will see from this update, there’s a lot going on, and many reasons to be excited about training and learning as psychiatrists in 2025.
Do get in touch and ask a question via Question Time with the Officers if you have any ideas or views on what we can do even better, we’d love to hear from you.
With best wishes,
Professor Subodh Dave
Dean, RCPsych
