Conference 2026

Welcome to the 16th Annual International Conference of the College of Mental Health Pharmacy – the must‑attend event for mental health pharmacy professionals and colleagues working across mental health services.

Building on the success of previous years, our Conference returns with an even richer and more ambitious programme.

  • Engage with leading experts in mental health pharmacy
  • Discover emerging research and evidence-based practice
  • Connect with peers and industry partners
  • Explore new products, services, and collaborative opportunities
