Great opening to #NeuroConf23 by Prof @huwwilliams19 : ‘#Prisons are brain injury units without resources’ - Prevalence of 🧠 injury in male prisons is 40–60% (5x ⬆️ risk compared to gen population) - Often occurs in childhood. 2-3x risk of violence & suicide. #neuropsychiatry

Prof Huw Williams kicking of Plenary 2 ‘Brain injury & Prisoners’ with a formal tribute to General Lord David Ramsbotham #rcpsych #neuropsychiatry Royal College of Psychiatrists

At #neuroconf23, Chris Bryant argues compellingly that there is both a moral and economic imperative for better early intervention after brain injury, and for a national strategy at least equivalent to that which exists for neurodevelopmental conditions like autism.

Welcoming Sir Chris Bryant MP, speaking on the moral and economic imperatives of change at government level. “There are 1.4million people with a brain injury in the UK, and they deserve better outcomes” Royal College of Psychiatrists #braininjury Chris Bryant Acquired Brain Injury Justice Network

Thanks to Gemma Buckland for her work with with Acquired Brain Injury Justice Network The network raises awareness of people living with acquired brain injuries in the criminal justice system. It is a powerhouse, driving change at a national level with training, policy change and commissioning.

Hope Kent Acquired Brain Injury Justice Network presents some stark data on brain injury and mental health in prisons. “70% of prisoners are estimated to be in need of mental health interventions, but only 10% receive it” “Brain injury was the biggest risk factor for suicide in prisoners” #neuroconf23

Dr James Norman kicks off plenary 3, homelessness & neuropsychiatry. A refreshingly honest account on how to improve healthcare inclusion. “When seeing the adult remember the child” If you haven’t already heard of ‘Duty to refer’ please take a look: gov.uk/government/pub…
