Annual Conference
17th Annual NAPICU Conference
Thursday 6th - Friday 7th September 2012
Held at the Manchester Conference Centre this years theme for the annual conference will be
'Low Secure and Psychiatric Intensive Care: Pathways to High Quality Acute Inpatient Care'.
At a time when there is a national interest in the delivery and design of acute psychiatric services, the presentations and workshops at this year's conference will focus on the various patient pathways used in acute care and ways to embed innovative and high quality care.
There will be a wide array of breakout sessions for delegates to attend based around the theme of the conference, including the judging session for the Team of the Year Award, also we will be running most of the sessions twice so you won't be disappointed!
We also are excited to announce the return of the Poster Session for a second year where you can present completed research, audit or practice related projects to be included in the conference exhibition as a poster.
