Conference and events

Conference

We are currently in the process of planning our next Conference. If you would like to be involved in the process of planning for our Conference, please do get in touch with us at enquires.cotssmh@gmail.com. Keep up to date with our plans by reading our monthly newsletter sent to you at the end of each month.  

Events

We run several events throughout the year. Most of these events are hosted by our clinical forums: Eating Disorders, Forensic and Perinatal Mental Health. These events are available to members to book via the Events - RCOT page.

Journal Club

The specialist section mental health journal club is run on the first Wednesday of every other month virtually at 7pm-8pm. This is a great opportunity to add to your CPD portfolio and engage in discussions on up-to-date research with your peers. We are highlighting the importance of research to inform evidence-based practice for practitioners. To keep the virtual e-journal club manageable we will have a maximum of 25 members.

Once registered, you will be asked to read the article and complete a short critical review form in preparation for the journal club. We ask that this is completed before the event so the journal club can be prompt in delving into discussion.

The virtual e-journal club will take place on zoom and will be recorded for purposes of transcribing key points. Key points and summary will be sent to each participant along with a thank you for attending email for CPD portfolio which you can use in your CPD folder along with your completed critical review form. You can download a copy of the critical review form.

We appreciate suggestions of areas of interest or specific articles (within three years of publication) to include more targeted journals for our members. Any suggestions you may have, please email to enquires.cotssmh@gmail.com.
