EPA 2019: 27th European Congress of Psychiatry

EPA 2019: 27th European Congress of Psychiatry is organized by Kenes Group, European Psychiatric Association (EPA) and will be held from Apr 06 - 09, 2019 at WARSAW EXPO XXI, Warsaw, Mazowieckie, Poland.

The target audience for this medical event is  clinical psychiatrists, researchers and leaders of stakeholder organizations in the field of mental health. Because of the diverse, clinically focused educational offering, participants are able to tailor the curriculum to meet the needs of international clinicians of all levels of experience. The international target audience includes international, regional and national psychiatrists and specialists from related disciplines including primary care doctors.

Course Description:
This Conference will facilitate discussion and educational forums on a range of topics in the field of psychiatry, psychology, social work and clinical trials. The motto of the congress will be "Psychiatry in Transition: Towards New Models, Goals and Challenges".

Psychiatry is facing a generative transition involving the organisation of mental health services, traditional approaches to diagnosis, models of care, and research paradigms. The implementation of community-based mental health systems in many countries, the increasing emphasis on person-centred research and care, the availability of scientific evidence substantiating the bio-psycho-social model, the clinical relevance of the diachronic perspective, and the effectiveness of e-mental health interventions represent meaningful examples of the ongoing transition.

We feel confident that the EPA 2019 congress will help all of us to adopt new models and to meet the challenges of new research findings for the benefit of our patients. A special focus of the congress will be the update of Evidence-based medicine in psychopharmacology, implementation of community-based mental health systems, e-mental health applications, and prevention programmes.

We know that this congress will continue with the best traditions of the EPA, and will represent for all participants an unforgettable personal and professional experience. We therefore look forward to welcoming you to Warsaw, one of Europe's most dynamic metropolitan cities.
