Conference: ‘First, do good’: critical and creative responses to iatrogenic harm in mental health practices
8 & 9 November, 2024, Brookfield Health Sciences Building, University College Cork . ‘First do no harm’ is considered a key ethical principle in health and social care practices. Yet, over the years, we have heard many accounts of harm caused by coercion, neglect, overmedication, adverse drug reactions, loss of dignity and agency from people who have used/are using mental health services. Over the years, we have also become aware of professionals who are concerned about potentially harmful caregiving practices but are afraid to speak out. The term ‘iatrogenic harm’ articulates these concerns, referring to the damage caused inadvertently by treatment and care, including diagnosis, intervention, error, or negligence. Booking: Email Harry Gijbels at h.gijbels@ucc.ie Include your name and indicate the day(s) you wish to attend (either Friday 8 November, Saturday 9 November, or both days). Booking will be confirmed by return email. Registration for online attendance (attend keynotes only) – click here Conference updates: https://cvni.ie/2024-2/
