33rd Saint John of God Research Study Day

The theme of this year’s Study Day is ‘Maximising the Impact of Research’.

We are absolutely delighted to announce that one of our keynote speakers is Professor Merete Nordentoft.
Professor Nordentoft is a world renowned principal investigator in the area of research into psychosis and she has contributed to over 700 publications to date.  She is an expert in epidemiology, suicidal behavior, psychopathology and early intervention in psychosis. She was PI for many large randomized clinical trials evaluating the effect of psychosocial intervention, of which the Danish OPUS trial (specialized assertive intervention in first episode psychosis) is the most well known.

This is a live event taking place in the Talbot hotel. We are expecting high demand because of the quality of the speaker line up.
