Perinatal Mental Health Annual Meeting Supported by: The Royal College of Psychiatrists 11 12 December 2017 14 credits 2 days RCOG, London Overview Mental disorders affect 20% of women in the perinatal period and are one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. Many of the women with these problems are not recognised as being unwell and go untreated. Stigma in relation to mental health problems is a further barrier to women seeking appropriate help and support. Services for maternal mental health problems are not available in more than 50% of the UK and there is a lack of skills across the disciplines in detecting, assessing and managing the conditions as well as in service development. This 2 day intensive course for obstetricians, gynaecologists and midwives will increase understanding of maternal mental disorders (nature, course, assessment and management) and the associated skills required in maternity services. The course will be delivered by experts from psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, obstetrics and midwifery in Perinatal Mental Health and the content will reflect the HEE PMH Competency Framework objectives. Who should attend? All Consultants, SAS Doctors and Trainees in Obstetrics and Gynaecology Midwives Nurse Specialists Obstetric anaesthetists and physicians Neonatologists Medical Students
