Organised by our friends at the Ghent Group this seminar will be held on 5th to 9th August 2024, Kloster Seeon, Germany.
This is a final notice about the annual Ghent Group summer seminar in Bavaria. We have been advised that there are two or three places left. While the seminar is pitched at a level for senior forensic psychiatrists, it would be interesting and useful for people in other disciplines working in the field, including lawyers who specialise in mental health work. Certificates of attendance/continuing education are provided for those who need them.
