Welcome

 

The Forum is a collaboration hosted jointly between the Royal College of Psychiatrists and the Royal College of General Practitioners which held its first meeting in January 2009.

It has an initial 2 year life cycle and is currently conducting a review of its activities and developing an onward strategy.


 

These pages bring together the activities of the Forum with other initiatives within both Colleges and provide resource in the form of leaflets, publications and guidance documents, work with other organisations, future meetings, conferences and other events.
