Priory Group, the UK's leading provider of independent mental health care, is bringing health experts together for a unique conference, which provides an insight into the field of forensic mental healthcare.

Forensic mental health services allow appropriate and effective treatment of extremely vulnerable people whose behaviours present a risk to themselves as well as others.

The conference will cover the central issue of improving quality across forensic services. Particular attention will be given towards the impact of New Horizons, the Bradley Report, research priorities, recovery and gender issues. It aims to provide all healthcare professionals who have links to the area of forensic mental health with knowledge surrounding current developments in the field. Service users and other individuals who want to learn more about this important area of healthcare can also attend.
