Local Experts will discuss current research, diagnosis and care with psychiatric disorders.
A pioneering test to help diagnose mental health disorders is a step closer to being used in hospitals and clinics. The simple eye test developed by researchers at the University of Aberdeen is now beginning the next phase of development before it can be used clinically.
Members of the public are invited to a public meeting to find out more about the research and will have the opportunity to participate in this latest phase of development of the innovative test.
Professor David St Clair, Chair of Mental Health at the University of Aberdeen and a consultant psychiatrist at NHS Grampian will give a short talk describing the research behind the test and the stage it is now at.
A panel discussion will follow where the audience can ask questions about the research as well as broader questions about mental health in general. Other panel members will include Dr Moyra Guthrie NHS consultant psychiatrist and Rev Jim Simpson hospital chaplain.
The audience are encouraged to ask questions and may do so anonymously by emailing helen.lemmon@abdn.ac.uk.
Free event, no booking required.
