The ICCHNR Symposium in Granada was the first international academic event I have attended.  The simultaneous translations (Spanish-English, English-Spanish) were fascinating - I have great admiration for the translators as it must be a very challenging job.  Despite the distractions of the act of translation, the debates were very good and provided much food for thought.

The many posters on display were also all of a high quality, it was good to get positive feedback on my poster.  It certainly seems that there is an interest in the aspect of the patient experience of stopping antidepressant medication, reassuring to say the least.

It was also a great opportunity to meet up with London colleagues, old and new, to be able to share PhD progress updates and forthcoming plans.

The next ICCHNR conference is in 2009, in Adelaide.......
