  • Will have learned about the specific medical and related problems experienced by refugees and asylum seekers
  • Will understand the nature, extent and clinical consequences of torture.
  • Will understand the impact of the clinical issues of torture on the working lives of GPs and will have learned how they can respond better to challenges posed.
  • Will have learned about the Royal Society of Medicine, Medical Justice and Freedom from Torture.

20 Years of Challenging the Health Consequences of Conflict: Two Steps forward one Step back?

Medact AGM and Conference

Start: 23.06.2012 09:30

End: 23.06.2012 16:30

We do hope you will join us at this special event to celebrate Medact’s 20th anniversary and to discuss Medact’s present work and future directions. We very much value your input. The AGM is a great opportunity for members, staff and trustees to get together and to introduce new people to Medact.

This conference will revisit themes at the core of Medact’s work. Speakers will consider the underlying drivers of conflict over the last 20 years, trends in the devastating health consequences of violent conflict and the role of health professionals both as healers and in conflict prevention. There will be plenty of time for discussion and the workshops in the afternoon will follow through on some specific aspects of these themes, such as new weapons and inequality as a driver of conflict.

The deadline for sending motions to be proposed at the AGM and nominations for elections to the board is Friday 18th May. Motions and nominations may be submitted by local groups, affiliates, or by two individual members. For more information, and to download a booking form, visit our website.
