About the symposium

This one-day symposium explores the latest evidence and its application to clinical practice in the management of psychotic disorders, such as schizophrenia. Delivered by the Psychosis Clinical Academic Group and using a multidisciplinary perspective, the event brings together contemporary themes that are highly relevant to today’s mental health professionals. The programme not only presents up-to-date evidence across a range of topics but also introduces innovative ideas and perspectives on current challenges faced by clinicians working within SLAM and beyond.

This symposium is supported by Maudsley Learning and the Maudsley Charity. No commercial sponsors are involved.
