Synopsis
Meanings of recovery was held at the University of Surrey on the 11 and 12 July. The symposium brought together academics and postgraduate research students who have theoretical and empirical interest in ‘recovery’ in the context of mental health, physical illness or injury and addiction. Postgraduate students were invited to submit abstracts and present posters and there was a strong postgraduate presence across both days. Seven posters were displayed across the two days and bursaries of up to £50 towards travel and accommodation were awarded to the five postdoctoral students who submitted abstracts of posters.
