Thank you EPA Section of Epidemiology & Social Psychiatry and all those on the organising committee. #EPAPsyEpi2022 was one of the best conferences I have ever attended. Inspiring plenaries, high quality symposia, excellent concurrent sessions and wonderful rapid fire talks and posters. I will definitely be back

Major academic moment - watching Prof Sir Michael Marmot talk about health equity and social inequalities #EPAPsyEpi2022

Life years lost in people with mental disorders - alcohol use a major cause. Interesting work using new and improved methods ⁦Oleguer Plana-Ripoll⁩ #EPAPsyEpi2022

Fantastic, opening plenary by Peter B Jones. Shifting population levels of ‘p’ could have large effects. Lots of challenges still to face #EPAPsyEpi2022

#EPAPsyEpi2022 first rule of social media training - get the congress hashtag right! Dr Louise Thornton you would be disappointed in me 😉

Just started the long journey to #EPAPsychEpi2022 in Cambridge. Good thing I’ve got a 17h flight to refine my talk. Looking forward to presenting some exciting data on the natural history of AUD symptoms on Thursday afternoon. Drop by if you are at the congress The Matilda Centre

Wonderful news @Jill_Halladay Really looking forward to you joining us down under The Matilda Centre later in the year. Lots of exciting and impactful research planned. For now I hope you relax and celebrate. You deserve it!

My three kids are currently COVID positive and “enjoying” isolated life with access to everything they need. I’m feeling like rubbish but two RATs suggest I have #notCOVID Tripled vaxxed so maybe that explains it? Anyone else experiencing this?
