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!
