For
hearing aid users, we are pleased to announce that the main hall at
Kingsley Hall has now been fitted with an induction hearing loop and
general acoustics are being improved, which will benefit anyone involved
in the use of the hall.
On Friday 12th May 7-9pm presentations and respective Q&A from:
- Critical Psychiatrist Dr Joanna Moncrieff, speaking about RADAR (Research into Antipsychotic Discontinuation And Reduction).
