Jointly sponsored by NELFT Medical education department, the Association of psychoanalytic psychotherapy (A.P.P.) and the Royal College of Psychiatrists this conference will appeal to all professionals working in primary and secondary care, and to mental health professionals, all of whom will benefit and learn from the approaches presented by experienced colleagues from throughout the UK.

Between 20% and 30% of consultations in primary care are with people who are experiencing MUS and have no clear medical diagnosis. It is estimated that this rises to an average of 52% in secondary care where a substantial proportion of secondary care resources are used by frequent attenders whose symptoms remain unexplained. Most of these patients currently receive little or no effective treatment or explanation for their symptoms so continue to be high users of health care and remain both distressed and disabled by their symptoms. Conservatively estimated that IBS costs the UK £200 million per year but that the cost could be as high as £600 million.
