I am delighted to announce our 15th national conference: Dementias 2013 taking place on the 7th & 8th February 2013. – A must-see essential on the calendar for all those who have an interest in old aged-psychiatry.

The conference continues to build upon the success of the previous years in providing an up-to-date review of the dementias. The programme takes note of the developments (and controversy) in dementia policy and practice (clinical and organisational) and in research.

Speakers have been chosen for both their mastery of their subjects and for their ability to communicate well. But the success of the meeting depends also on discussion and questions from the ‘floor’ – so please join in!

This two day conference, organised by The National Autistic Society, is recognised as the foremost opportunity, in the UK and internationally, for reflection and sharing for services providing care for the Learning Disabled Offender, both in the public and independent health and social care sectors and the criminal justice system. The conference, and its published proceedings, creates a platform for this speciality, often regarded as a minority interest by both health and criminal justice mainstream services.

The ECSR is a biennial scientific conference dealing with recent developments in schizophrenia research as well as with challenges in clinical settings. Accordingly the scientific programme comprises a research track including symposia, workshops, and oral presentations on basic and translational topics and also a clinical track covering a broad range of topics relevant to improve treatment and care. Every day will be highlighted by plenary lectures of distinguished schizophrenia experts. The ECSR is a joint thematic conference of the European Scientific Association on Schizophrenia and other Psychoses (ESAS), the Competence Network on Schizophrenia, the European Psychiatric Association and the German Association for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy. The ECSR was established in 2007 in order to provide a platform for scientific exchange and knowledge-update and to address specific European issues like harmonisation of practice guidelines. Young scientists are explicitly encouraged to present their findings and communicate with senior researchers and clinicians.
