Synopsis of the workshop: How effective is your National Health Service (NHS) at managing psychosomatic conditions? How effective is your national health service at managing the recovery and rehabilitation following acute illnesses. How many different clinical physical/psychological presentations can you identify when mind and body interact? How many different forms of cognitive processing are there that may manifest themselves as physical symptoms? How do you recognise the patient who has associated mental health or psychosomatic issues? How should we manage such patients? These and other questions will be answered. Recent Publications 1.
