Colleagues based at the Institute of Neuroscience and Cardiovascular Research (INCR) at the University of Edinburgh are invited to come along to this half day workshop where we will discuss collaborations and funding opportunities across the Institute at the interface of neuroscience, psychiatry and cardiovascular health.

We are delighted to welcome guest speaker, Dr Benjamin Perry, to Edinburgh for the first of our quarterly Hub for Metabolic Psychiatry Lectures!

In this talk, Ben will describe his work developing PsyMetRiC, the first cardiometabolic risk prediction algorithm tailored and accurate for young people with SMI. Validated in eight countries across four continents, PsyMetRiC is now being revised and updated for accuracy, equity and usefulness. This presentation will highlight some of the challenges of implementing prediction models into clinical practice, and shine a light on the growing recognition of inequities baked into our health record datasets.
