Fair Deal
This Royal College of Psychiatrists' 3-year campaign was
dedicated to addressing the inequalities that people with mental
health problems encounter daily in terms of their health, life
chances, and inclusion. The campaign was founded on the views
of psychiatrists, and service users and carers, and covered eight
priorities areas. It involved public affairs and
communications work to raise
awareness of the Fair Deal priorities among politicians, in the
media, and among the general public, and partnership work with voluntary sector organisations and other
healthcare professionals on individual projects and specific
campaigns over the 3 year period.
Images of Psychiatry
This campaign aims to raise awareness amongst young people
of mental health issues and of psychiatry, to reduce the stigma
associated with mental health problems and to ensure user and carer
issues are core to psychiatry, both in training and in day-to-day
practice.
Additionally, it aims to increase the number of UK medical
students choosing psychiatry as their first choice career to
10%.
