This is one of the leading conferences in this region dedicated to continuing professional development for all healthcare professionals working within or alongside the mental health sector.

Each year we invite key international speakers to present some of the latest knowledge and findings in mental healthcare, but we also look forward to having local and regional experts present papers based on their own findings that are highly relevant to local customs and culture. We look forward to receiving abstracts of research projects or quality initiatives that applicants believe would make a suitable contribution to our program and will be of interest to healthcare professionals working in Qatar and the region.’

Abstract submissions can be for intensive workshop sessions, oral presentations or poster presentations. Interested parties can visit www.hamad.qa/6qimhc for more details and submission guidelines. Abstract submissions close Sunday, 16 September 2017
