In-personRANZCP Western Australian Branch welcomes you to our highly anticipated 2 day professional education conference taking place on Friday 6 and Saturday 7 September, concluding with our annual branch annual dinner on Saturday 7 September.
Event information
We are delighted to announce the upcoming 2-day WA Branch Conference when we return once more to the spectacular venue, Beaumonde on The Point, located on the fringe of Perth city, with sweeping river views.
This year, our theme Navigating complexity - from love and care, to risk will spark thought-provoking discussions and offer valuable insights into the multifaceted world of complex mental health conditions. Don't miss your chance to stay at the forefront of your field, learn from highly regarded clinicians with significant expertise, and build connections with other colleagues.
Our inspirational program is headlined by keynote speaker and WA Travelling Scholar, Professor Patrick McGorry, AO.
Unwind and connect during our lunch time river cruise, welcome reception on Friday night and branch annual dinner on Saturday. Whether you're a new, early career or long-standing psychiatrist, a medical practitioner interested in gaining expertise in complex mental health challenges, or someone with lived experience of mental illness, the WA Branch Conference provides lots of opportunities to foster connection and collaboration. We look forward to welcoming you then.
