SESSION 1: Transitioning from CAMHS to AMHS
Chair: Professor Fiona McNicholas, Co-Chair: Professor Mary Clarke
(i) Transition from CAMHS to AMHS: What we have learnt from the milestone transition study
Dr Gwen Dieleman, Erasmus MC-Sophia, Rotterdam, Netherlands
Despite the fact that the transition period from adolescence to adulthood is the period of onset of the most severe mental illnesses, the current service configuration with distinct child and adult mental health services is weakest where it should be most robust. Concern with regard to the group of youths who fall through the ‘care gap’ increases, yet no studies to date have investigated the transitional pathways in relation to mental health outcomes longitudinally. The MILESTONE project is an EU-wide study investigating mental health transition across diverse healthcare systems. In this presentation we will evaluate the care pathways of adolescent CAMHS service users as they transition into young adulthood, their mental health and predictors of successful transition.
(ii) Ethical Aspects to Consider in Transition
Professor Fiona McNicholas, Our Lady’s Children’s Hospital, Crumlin, Dublin
Our MILESTONE project on transitions from CAMHS to AMHS offered an opportunity to examine the ethical values which people expect to underpin the transition between CAMHS and AMHS. There is an assumption in transitions research that young people (YP) are always better served by moving from child to adult services upon reaching the transitional boundary (TB). We wished to explore any ethical challenges of ensuring delivery of transitional care to those who need it most, and position this against the risk of ‘pathologising’ transient and selflimiting distress and dysfunction, which may be normal during adolescence.
SESSION 2: Training Across Ireland
Chair: Dr Dearbhail Lewis

Panel Discussion: Dr Amy Grimason, Dr Fiona Martin, Dr Sarah Casey, Dr Laura Somerville, Dr Anna Feeney & Dr Rachel Wallace
SESSION 3: Personality Disorders
Chair: Dr Adrian James, Langdon Hospital, Devon
(i) MBT and Personality Disorder Services in Northern Ireland
Dr Iain McDougall
This part of the workshop will outline current personality disorder services in Northern Ireland with specific detail regarding the Belfast HSC Trust, Self Harm Personality Disorder Service, but also reference to working alongside CMHTs and the challenges of rural working to allow discussion in the workshop around the potential development of personality disorder services in the Republic of Ireland.
(ii) DBT in an Irish Psychiatry Service
Dr Deirdre Jackson
This talk will outline the delivery of a DBT programme at CMHT level in the Kildare Mental Health Services, including discussion of some of the challenges and unmet needs.
(iii) Therapeutic Communities for Personality Disorders
Dr Paul Matthews
In this session Dr Matthews will talk about his experience of working with a well-developed stand-alone personality disorders service with a Therapeutic Community model in Oxford and contrast this with his current role as a community psychiatry in Ireland.
15:15 – 15:45 | COFFEE BREAK
15:45 – 17:15 | PARALLEL SESSIONS – PART II
SESSION 4: Transitioning from CAMHS to AMHS
Chair: Professor Fiona McNicholas, Co-Chair: Professor Mary Clarke
(iv) National Clinical Programme for Psychosis
Dr Karen O’Connor, Cork University Hospital, Cork
(v) Review of Early Psychosis Services: Are they servicing their purpose?
Dr Ian Kelleher, RCSI, Dublin
Five of the ten leading causes of disability-adjusted life-years in young people are mental illnesses, of which psychotic disorders are the most severe and functionally disabling. Psychosis prevention, then, represents a critically important goal for psychiatrists. The first necessary step in prevention is to be able to identify individuals who are at risk of psychosis. The principal approach currently used to identify individuals at elevated risk of psychosis involves young people with subclinical psychotic symptoms presenting to dedicated ‘at risk mental state’ clinics. This presentation will discuss how we can improve our capacity to identify individuals at risk of psychosis by not focusing research exclusively on the at-risk mental state approach. Using international healthcare register data, we will look at alternative approaches that may increase our capacity for psychosis prevention.
(vi) Clinical and Functional Outcomes for Young Adults Who Reported Psychotic Experiences in Childhood
Professor Mary Cannon, Beaumont Hospital, Dublin
Psychotic experiences are reported by up to 20% of children and adolescents. We know that these psychotic experiences are associated with increased risk of co-morbid psychopathology. However these symptoms appear to be transitory for up to one third of those who report them and little is known about long-term outcomes. We report on clinical and functional outcomes at 10 years for young people who reported these experiences in late childhood. We will show that young people who report psychotic experiences could be considered a target group for early or preventive interventions.
(vii) Surmounting the Peak: A Description of a Youth Mental Health Service
Dr Brian O’Donoghue, Orygen, The National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health, Australia
Approximately 75% of adult mental health disorders have their onset between the periods of early adolescences and early adulthood. However, current mental health services have their cut-off at the peak of this onset with CAMHS services providing care to those under the age of 18 and Adult mental health services to those aged 18 to 65. Orygen Youth Health is a youth mental health service that provides treatment to young people aged between 15 and 24 years of age with the aim of providing comprehensive care and reducing transitions between services. This presentation will detail (i) the structure of the youth mental health service, (ii) the age of onset and presentation of young people and (iii) the discharge destinations (i.e. whether further transitions occur).
Panel Discussion led by Professor Mary Clarke (Q&A x20mins)
SESSION 5: Hands On, Mixed Methods Research with Public Patient Involvement
- Ms Suzanne Gerritsen, Erasmus MC-Sophia, Rotterdam, Netherlands
- Dr Cathy Street, University of Warwick
Drawing on the learning from the MILESTONE Project, this session will explore the methodology of a 5-year international mental health research study. The importance of patient and public involvement will be discussed, as well as the role of the Young Project Advisors in MILESTONE. In this interactive session, participants will have opportunities to think about their own research practice and how they might address some of the challenges encountered in MILESTONE.
SESSION 6: PCS Workshop: Brake at the border?
Chair: Dr Lorcan Martin, CPsychI Director of Professional Competence
Dr Gerry Lynch, Chair and Vice President, Royal College of Psychiatrists in Northern Ireland
Dr John Simpson, Associate at clinical Leadership Solutions, past Medical Director Southern Health Trust
“ The kind of doctor I want is one who, when he’s not examining me, is home studying medicine.” – George S. Kaufman
Not every CPD system is the same. This workshop will incorporate a whistle-stop tour of other European CME systems, as well as examining the current CME systems in Ireland north and south. Participants will be asked to consider the pros and cons of our CPD structures and tools such as 360 degree appraisal and professional development plans. Is your CPD / PCS effective, supportive and does it ultimately do what it sets out to do? Bring your thoughts, arguments and opinions to this workshop – we want to hear them!

9:45 – 10:30 | DERADICALISATION AND THE PSYCHIATRIST: WHAT IS OUR LANE?
Dr Mayura Deshpande, RCPsych
Dr Deshpande will illustrate the ethical dilemmas for psychiatrists inherent in the Prevent Agenda, referencing the RCPsych position statement on Prevent, and the ethical guidance that have been written to go with it.
10:30 – 11:15 | CRISIS? WHAT CRISIS? GLOBAL OPIOID CONVERSATIONS
Dr Cathy Stannard, NHS Gloucestershire
The opioid epidemic in North America is a public health catastrophe and this multifaceted epidemic remains in the headlines. Concern that a similar crisis is unfolding in Europe has prompted a number of initiatives to mitigate such a disaster. The session will outline some of the antecedents of the North American opioid epidemic. Data from the UK and Europe on prescription medicine misuse will be presented and contrasts drawn between American and European culture and healthcare that may be protective against our own opioid epidemic. The session will conclude with an overview of some national and regional initiatives and resources that highlight the role of medicines associated with addiction in pain management and aim to support safe prescribing. We will also explore some challenges that need to be overcome if we are to make lasting change.
11:15 – 11:45 | COFFEE BREAK
11:45 – 12:45 | RCPSYCH PRESIDENT’S LECTURE
Lord Alderdice, introduced by Professor Wendy Burn
Conflict, co-operation and complexity
It would be difficult to argue that our world is not characterised by the spread of conflict and complexity. But can a better understanding of complexity theories point to the possibilities for cooperation in our diversity, rather than political violence? John Alderdice will explore this challenge and its practical implications.
12:45 – 13:45 | LUNCH
13:45- 14:00 | ANNOUNCEMENT OF PRIZES
14:00 – 15:00 | CRISIS INTERVENTION
IPT-ACUTE CRISIS: BRINGING THE EDINBURGH MODEL TO BELFAST
Dr Philip McGarry
Self-harm is one of the most common presentations to Emergency Departments. Providing an appropriate response is very challenging, not least because of the absence of evidence-based interventions. IPT-AC (Interpersonal Therapy- Acute Crisis) is a four session treatment, which has been introduced in Edinburgh over the last few years. Preliminary trials have had encouraging results. The Belfast Trust plans to train unscheduled care staff in this new therapy in the New Year. This presentation will describe the background to this innovative project.
IS THERE A CRISIS IN CRISIS INTERVENTION IN THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND?
Dr Anne Jeffers and Prof Vincent Russell
These presentations will explore the role of Mental Health services in Crisis Intervention. Challenges and opportunities for future service development will be presented. Audience participation is actively encouraged with a view to identifying solutions.
15:00 – 15:45 | ‘Are The Central Tenets of Psychiatry Unashamedly Stolen from the Cathartic Constructs of Theatre?’
Terry McMahon, Film Director
Theatre is over two-and-a-half-thousand years old. (Cinema and television are modern forms of theatre.) Psychiatry is barely two-hundred-and-fifty years old. Yet the tools used by both for the transformation of individuals into functioning members of society are uncannily similar. Multi-award-winning filmmaker Terry McMahon provocatively interrogates the idea that psychiatrists might simply be theatre-practitioners with prescription pads.
15:45 – 16:30 | HARNESSING CREATIVITY IN HEALTH FRONTIERS IN SOCIAL PRESCRIBING RESEARCH AND PRACTICE
Dr Daisy Fancourt, University College London
There is currently great political interest in the concept of social prescribing. In England, there have been announcements across 2019 of investment in thousands of new ‘link workers’ and the ambition of engaging over 900,000 patients in the scheme by 2023. Similar programmes are also underway across the rest of the UK. This presentation will consider the role of social, cultural and community activities within social prescribing. In particular, it will focus on the role of the arts, culture and heritage activities in the prevention and management of depression, with findings from clinical trials and epidemiological analyses of cohort data and routinely-collected NHS electronic patient records. Further, it will consider the psychological, physiological, social and behavioural mechanisms underlying these findings and give case studies of programmes in action.
