In our 2nd annual summer symposium, held this year in-person at the impressive Djanogly Arts Gallery and Lakeside Arts Centre on the University of Nottingham campus, our focus is treatment-resistant schizophrenia (TRS) in forensic settings. TRS can have a dramatic impact on the quality of our patient’s lives. Clinicians’ roles in management are challenging in any environment, and can be especially so in forensic settings, due to a complex interplay of comorbid conditions, risk considerations and criminal justice involvement. We will receive updates from UK researchers on the neuroscientific and clinical understanding of TRS, administration of NG and IM clozapine in challenging scenarios, and discuss a local initiative to streamline clozapine prescribing in prisons. Speakers include: Dr Rob McCutcheon, Psychiatrist and neuroscientist, Kings College London Alex Till, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist, The Edenfield Centre, Greater Manchester Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust Dr Siobhan Gee, Principal Pharmacist, South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust, London The symposium will be of interest to clinicians working in both forensic and general adult settings, and to researchers looking to develop projects in this area. There will be a Q&A forum to share clinical insights, conundrums, and potentially develop collaborative research ideas. At the end of the day we invite you to join us for a drinks and canapes reception, which we hope will provide good networking opportunities for our delegates.
