Speakers

Dr Ball and Claire Henshall from Gen Re presented mental health.

Dr Ball discussed how mental disorders are increasingly being recognised and treated in general practice, but often without the diagnostic rigour that pertains in secondary care. This presents challenges to the insurance community, particularly in relation to disability products. The presentation looked at this difficult area to help understand how these disorders present and how to assess their future risk.

Claire talked about claimants with mental health disorders and how they can be assessed and managed at a claims stage.
