Scottish ‘Personality Disorder’* Network:
Call for Conference Submissions,
26th June 2024, Abertay University Dundee

‘Personality disorders’ are common and controversial psychiatric diagnoses, which attract a wide range of views and perspectives.  The Scottish ‘Personality Disorder’ Network welcomes proposals for submissions from all people who are interested in or impacted by these diagnoses. 

We are open to a variety of different means of you sharing your ideas.  We want to hear the perspectives of all stakeholders, whether it be people with diagnoses, people who support them, or professionals involved in delivering care.  We hope through sharing these perspectives, we can build towards shared understandings, empathy, and ultimately work together to improve experiences of people with these diagnoses.

You can consider inputting to the conference in any way, whether that be a formal presentation, or a more creative means of communicating ideas.  We will accept submissions of posters, workshops, presentations, storytelling and any artistic expression.  We will consider both live and pre-recorded input, and these may vary in duration.

Please download use the attached submission form here:

Please submit your proposal to aidan.mitchell@changemh.org by the end of Monday, 13th May.

Anyone who submits an abstract should also register to attend the conference in person here.
