To launch this important and timely new book ‘Seeking Asylum and Mental Health’, the editors Chris Maloney, Julia Nelki and Alison Summers were joined in conversation by leading asylum lawyers Stephanie Harrison KC, Joint Head of Garden Court Chambers and Ronan Toal of Garden Court Chambers. They explored some of the key themes from the book, and focused discussion on the future role of medical evidence in asylum cases, in the context of changes made by the Nationality and Borders Act 2022.
Several of the book’s expert contributors, including Professor Cornelius Katona, Medical Director of the Helen Bamber Foundation, and Piyal Sen, Consultant Forensic Psychiatrist and Visiting Professor at Brunel University, were present. The evening aimed to further a creative dialogue and ongoing links between legal and healthcare professions.
