Winter Conference: Diet, Nutrition and Mental Health and Wellbeing

December 6, 2016 @ 10:00 am - December 7, 2016 @ 4:00 pm

The conference offers the latest scientific research to discuss the link between diet, nutrition and mental health/wellbeing. The purpose of this conference is to review where the evidence is strong, where there are unmet needs for research and to draw together the community working in this area. The conference programme will consist of plenary sessions aiming to set the scale of the problem in context, plus a series of four interlinked symposia examining the evidence linking nutrition to psychological outcomes. The mechanistic basis will be included in the scope of the discussion. Sessions will be devoted to public health and clinical interventions.

Additional speaker and award opportunity: Cuthbertson Award has been awarded annually since 1990 as a tribute to Sir David Cuthbertson. It is awarded to scientists or clinicians at an early stage of their career for excellence in clinical nutrition and/or metabolism research providing an evidence base for clinical practice. The winner of the Cuthbertson Medal will be invited to present on Wednesday 7 December at the Winter Conference. Submission deadline: midnight on 6 October.
