2nd EPA Forum
The EPA Forum 2016 took place on 11 March in Madrid, Spain. About 200 participants centred their discussion on the theme A Common Language in European Psychiatry – Can it be achieved? The Forum gathered together representatives from international and European-level organisations, as well as psychiatrists and academics, who exchanged on how to reach a consensus for a shared language in the mental health sector.
