At St Patrick’s Mental Health Services (SPMHS), we are hosting a conference on the role of technology in mental healthcare.
Taking place online from 9am on Friday, 10 March 2023, the Remote Care Conference: A New Era in Mental Healthcare Delivery will offer attendees an insight into the role of enabling technology to deliver choice, empowerment and efficiency in mental health service delivery.
The conference will consider the use of effective remote care delivery. It will look at our Homecare service; and explore the use of an online service user portal to underpin a human rights-based approach to mental healthcare by providing service users with access to their information. Considerations around cybersecurity and privacy in the context of remote care will also be discussed, along with future trends in mental health and remote care.
This will be of interest to general practitioners (GPs); referring clinicians; mental health service managers; technologists working in mental healthcare; voluntary and community organisations working in mental health; and students.
