Dear Colleagues

It is a pleasure to invite you to the first Excellence in Child Mental Health Conference that will be held 1-3 December 2011 in Istanbul.

Following a successful launch one-day event in London on 2 December 2010, and the experience of previous Excellence Conferences in other medical specialties, including Paediatrics, this is a unique opportunity for child mental health professionals (fully qualified and trainees), allied health professionals (nurses, social workers, psychologists), community paediatricians with a specific interest in child mental health and clinical scientists to actively participate in a regular international forum, meet experts from the field, attend high quality sessions on updates in evidence-based practice, and exchange experiences on the latest developments in diagnostic issues, treatment and services for children, young people and their families.

We are currently preparing an exciting programme with the Scientific Advisory Board and the International Scientific Committee to involve high quality speakers across three themes (disorders, interventions and services). The variety of sessions will use innovative and interactive teaching techniques through round tables, symposia, clinical conferences, workshops, debates, clinical guidelines, current issues, and plenary lectures. The overarching objective will be to improve practice by combining clinical innovation with research evidence. Selected presentations by young clinicians and poster presentations on a wide range of topics will encourage the incoporation of new ideas in a dynamic and friendly learning environment.

I look forward to meeting you in Istanbul!

Warm regards

Professor Panos Vostanis, MB BS, MD, FRCPsych Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry University of Leicester United Kingdom
