30th International Mental Health Nursing Research Conference (In person)

This event continues the thread of previous themes, in offering hope through collaboration. It will promote the underpinning concepts of equality and joint working between professional groups, people with lived experience and their families and across public, voluntary and private sectors.

Through presentations and networking opportunities in person and online the conference will aim to facilitate international engagement across these groups from high, middle and low income countries. Our continued vision is to create a conference culture that values the strong links between staff wellbeing, patient care and patient safety, where everyone feels safe, supported, and encouraged to speak about their experiences.

The venue for our 30th annual conference is St Catherine's College, Oxford, with live streaming of all presentations and potential for active engagement of online participants.
