MDF Bipolar National Conference, June 18 2011

APP again featured at the annual conference of MDF the Bipolar Organisation held in London.

Rachel Perkins OBE was among the speakers, and workshops will included a Q & A session on medication with MDF Bipolar Vice Chair Dr Nick Stafford, advice on benefits and allowances, and a discussion forum led by Professors Nick Craddock of BDRN and Steven Jones of the Spectrum Centre.

There was also be a workshop entitled Thinking about Motherhood: Bipolar, Pregnancy and Childbirth led by Dr Ian Jones, Reader in Perinatal Psychiatry at Cardiff University and Clare Dolman MDF Bipolar Chair of Trustees – both members of APP’s Board.

We were delighted to support MDF the Bipolar Organisation – the only national charity for people affected by this disorder – in the staging of their conference and really enjoyed a fascinating day – and a great chance to network!
