Exciting things are happening at the Royal College of Psychiatrists!

Chief Executive Sandra Butcher took part in a session on FASD at the Royal College of Psychiatrists’ international congress in Liverpool.

The session was organised by Prof Raja Mukherjee MBE, who is lead author on a forthcoming report about FASD from the College. Other speakers included Prof Penny Cook, Dr Alan Price and Prof Arijit Mukhopadhyay from the University of Salford.

Sandy said, “You can tell things are changing, even if slowly. When I asked, more than half of the participants indicated they knew someone with FASD or suspected FASD. There's still a long way to go but Raja and others in the College are opening doors that need to be opened so people with FASD and suspected FASD and their families get the FASD-informed diagnosis, care and support they deserve.”

National FASD’s chief executive Sandy Butcher and birth mum Jan Griffin took part in the national FASD clinic’s away day on Thursday 28 May. They led a brainstorming session on future directions for the clinic and shared lived experience throughout the day.

Sandy said, “It was a privilege to be asked back again. The team that Prof Raja Mukherjee has pulled together is so talented, caring, and forward looking. Sitting with them more than 10 years after my own son’s diagnosis at the clinic I was reminded again as a parent this is exactly the type of team you can trust to help find a way forward for your loved ones. It's so impressive they do all that and contribute their expertise to international research and supporting others trying to promote awareness and change. Seeing behind scenes it's obvious the planning and care that makes that all possible."
