More than 150 staff from Oxleas, South London and Maudsley, and South West London and St George’s mental health trusts came together recently for the first ever South London Mental Health and Community Partnership Women in Mental Health conference.
Speakers included world-renowned psychoanalyst, writer and social commentator Susie Orbach; Henrietta Bowden-Jones, Consultant Psychiatrist and founder and Director of the UK’s National Problem Gambling Clinic; and former National Clinical Director for Mental Health Geraldine Strathdee.
Some of the excellent south London services for women were highlighted, and delegates considered specific mental health problems affecting women as a direct result of societal issues and inequalities.
