ARMHS presents: Emergency and acute healthcare use post incarceration

ARMHS is hosting a presentation on emergency and acute healthcare use post incarceration at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh on Tuesday 20 October. It's a morning session, running from 10:00 to 13:30, so you'll be out by lunchtime.

The focus is exactly what the title says: how people use emergency and acute healthcare services after they've been released from prison. It's a specific intersection of health and justice that doesn't get much airtime, and the session is built around that. The morning is led by Lisa Schölin, with more speakers to be confirmed as the date gets closer.

If you're working in healthcare, social work, or the justice system, it's the kind of thing that sits right in your wheelhouse. If you're just interested in how these two worlds overlap, it's a good place to get a clearer picture of what happens when someone leaves custody and finds themselves back in the community. The format is a presentation, so it's more about listening and taking it in than a workshop or a working group.

It's held at the Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh, 11 Queen Street, EH2 1JQ, right in the city centre. The session runs from 10:00 to 13:30, and it's free to attend.
