The predominant association of attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) with males, often leads to underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis in females. Recent studies have highlighted marked differences between genders in the manifestation, symptoms, and outcomes of ADHD. Understanding these differences is essential for accurate identification, diagnosis, and tailored interventions for affected individuals, particularly females. TThe multifaceted nature of ADHD demands a nuanced examination of its impact on females, considering how societal expectations, hormonal influences, and a range of symptom presentations may contribute to the variation in the manifestation of this disorder across genders. This presentation aims to contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of ADHD, fostering improved recognition and tailored strategies to support both males and females who suffer from this condition.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Psychotic experiences show a dynamic pattern over time, often in interaction with the environment. In my talk, I will discuss how Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) or Experience Sampling Methodology can be used to assess psychotic symptoms in the flow of daily life. I will focus on the assessment of both positive and negative symptoms, where I will discuss both how we can measure such symptoms as well as what the dynamic patterns look like in everyday life. Furthermore, I will also focus on how ESM can be used to transfer psychological treatment to daily life using an app. I will discuss the INTERACT trial, a trial in people at the early stages of psychosis, where we investigated the effect of Acceptance And Commitment Therapy in Daily Life, compared to Treatment As Usual.Disclosure of InterestNone Declared

Abstract Psychiatrists postgraduate training in Ukraine lasts only for 18 months and the curriculum includes psychotherapy. However, little is known about its quality and provision. The aims of the research were to investigate the current psychotherapy training status in Ukraine, to examine how it is included in psychiatry training and to identify access to it. An anonymous online survey was conducted among early career psychiatrists (psychiatry trainees or psychiatrists within 5 years after specialising in psychiatry). The findings show that the minority had access to psychotherapy training though the majority of responders consider it to be an important part of psychiatry training. This study encourages to improve the accessibility and quality of psychotherapy training in Ukraine. It shows that despite the low accessibility of psychotherapy training for psychiatry trainees there is a high need in it. It is even more relevant in times of war, given its negative consequences for mental health and the growing need for educated psychotherapists. Disclosure of Interest None Declared

Abstract Therapeutic Drug Monitoring (TDM), i.e. the measurement of blood levels of antipsychotics, is a well-established clinical routine tool in the treatment with antipsychotics including clozapine. Nevertheless, worldwide there are different utilisation cultures and trends with use of TDM varying from regular to very limited. In order to assess attitudes regarding the use and utility of therapeutic drug monitoring in psychiatry trainees and young psychiatrists, the EPA ECPC Task Force on Communication and Publications is performing an online survey consisting of 12 questions previously validated in a british context to gather data on TDM attitudes, practices, and clinical setting. Apart from capturing early career psychiatrists’ current practices and perspectives regarding antipsychotic TDM the goal of this project is to identify predictive factors for future use of therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). Here we present the preliminary results of our currently ongoing survey. Disclosure of Interest G. Schoretsanitis Consultant of: HLS Therapeutics and ThermoFisher

Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, mental health services often used remote technology to deliver care. However, the rise in remote consultation was largely unplanned. Furthermore, while many patients found remote technology a useful way to access care, others did not. Going forwards, remote technology will continue to play an important role in the delivery of mental healthcare. Research on the most effective ways for mental health services to implement remote technology is thus urgently needed. Electronic health records (EHRs) have been widely adopted in mental healthcare services. EHRs not only support individual patient care, but also open the door to largescale research through the analysis of de-identified clinical data. The South London and Maudsley (SLaM) Biomedical Research Centre (BRC) Case Register is a large EHR dataset comprising structured and unstructured clinical information on patients receiving specialist mental healthcare. In this talk, I will present findings from an analysis of the SLaM BRC Case Register using the Clinical Record Interactive Search tool (CRIS) to evaluate the uptake of remote mental healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic and its association with medication prescribing. I will discuss the implications of these findings for psychiatrists delivering community mental healthcare and how mental health services can harness remote technology to optimise clinical outcomes.

Abstract In this workshop we aim to discuss the ins and outs of publishing in psychiatry with practical guidance from both sides of the couch. The executive editors of the European Journal of Psychiatry (Drs Asilay Seker, Mário J. Santos, Luís Fernandes) will talk about the experience of starting a journal from scratch with very limited resources and share practical tips with the participants about publishing for ECPs by ECPs.

Abstract Professional attitudes and ethics skills of physicians are influenced in part by the lessons of medical training. Still, few medical schools and postgraduate training programs introduce a formal curriculum. There is also the hidden curriculum which is influenced by instructions that are implicitly learned by observation of others, the cultural climate, and the social norms. The hidden ethics curriculum in psychiatry resident programs was investigated with qualitative interviews. Patient autonomy (consent for admission, coercive treatments) and ethical problems that arise during the management of difficult patient populations (medical ills, substance users, and frequent fliers) were the most common themes. Psychiatric residents perceive a need for more education on ethical issues. The speaker will present the available knowledge on psychiatry residents’ perspectives and the current programs addressing ethics training. This talk is hoped to elicit discussion in preparation for future action and inform a roadmap for addressing ethics training and subsequent educational events during psychiatry undergraduate and postgraduate education.

Abstract Balancing career and family is a hard job for everyone. Academic life with multiple and conflicting demands on our time necessitates prioritizing among responsibilities. This resonates especially for a woman academic who takes care of a baby. The speaker will address specific challenges of mothers who are in both academia and clinical practice, give reflections and elaborate on patterns and ways of dealing with this challenge. The talk is hoped to promote awareness and discussion on addressing the inner and outer sources and planning one’s own way on a career path. Disclosure of Interest None Declared

In this interactive session, we will attempt to create a roadmap toward a research career in psychiatry, particularly in challenging settings. Participants will be able to share their experiences and ask questions. Through dialectical discourse, we will identify the essential skills and key competencies for a research career and how to develop them through key strategies and practical exercises. We will try to answer these questions and more. “I like research, but I don’t know where to start?” “I know writing is important, but how can I make the process less painful and even perhaps enjoy writing?” “There is no research tradition in my workplace; how can I find a mentor?” “How can I build confidence in presenting at scientific conferences?” “It’s important to master hard skills, but what could we do with soft skills?”Disclosure of InterestNone Declared
