Maudsley Annual Reviews of Psychiatry

The Institute of Psychiatry presents a new educational initiative which will highlight and synthesise key advances in psychiatry and will serve as an annual landmark of progress in the field.

We believe that this initiative will meet the challenge of translating scientific developments in mental health into advances in clinical care. There will be three themes covered each year selected to represent topics in psychiatry where substantial developments were achieved in elucidating disease mechanisms or improving clinical practice. These annual meeting will bring together internationally renowned researchers and clinicians who will discuss their findings and share their perspective on each of their expert themes in a clinically relevant manner. Establishing the Maudsley Annual reviews of Psychiatry as the foremost international gathering of its kind in mental health care, it is envisaged to inform scientists, clinicians, policy-makers and business leaders.

The scientific programme includes Plenary Lectures, three core Symposia in Schizophrenia, Bipolar disorder and ADHD, and Satellite Symposia organised by pharmaceutical companies in consultation with the organising committee which complement topics presented in the core symposia.

Key speakers include: P Asherson, T Banaschewski , A Farmer, W Fleischhacker, S Frangou, JS Kooij, J Lieberman, P McGuire, R Murray, W Nolen, P Power, M Rösler, G Sachs, A Scheres, J van O
