RCPsych rejection of symposium on antipsychotics


The Conference Committee of the RCPsych rejected a proposal for a symposium on antipsychotic medication.

The symposium was suggested to discuss recent research findings which suggest that long-term antipsychotic treatment is associated with some important physical and functional disadvantages.

Members of the Critical Psychiatry Network wrote to the Conference Committee to seek clarification as it was felt that it was important for psychiatrists to reflect upon these findings and the implications on clinical practice.
