The International Congress of the Royal College of Psychiatrists is one of the major meetings in the UK (attracting up to 3500 delegates) and this year, R-LiNK was well represented. Dr Squarcina, Dr Boumezbeur and Dr Cousins presented a symposium on the imaging work packages, which was well received and generated significant interest, notably from the editor of the Lancet Psychiatry. Professor Young presented on lithium and suicide prevention to the main auditorium, outlining the study and raising the profile of R-LiNK and the importance of response prediction. We were grateful to Professor Wendy Burn (RCPsych President) and others for highlighting these sessions on social media. The call for symposium proposals for the 2020 congress proposals is now open and will remain open until 30 September – let’s become a regular feature!
