The second symposium to be arranged for nurses and psychiatrists by the Nursing Committee was held at the Quarterly Meeting of the College in London on 17 November 1983. A criticism of the initial meeting held in Liverpool in April 1982 was that although nursing attendance had been excellent, the response from the psychiatrists had been poor. This was disappointing as the aim of the meetings was to provide a forum where topics of mutual interest or concern could be freely discussed. However, on this occasion, when the Chairman of the meeting, Dr Birley, called for psychiatrists in the audience to identify themselves, out of the ninety or so present, two-thirds were psychiatrists.
