DESCRIPTION:*One Reservist\, Two jobs: The psychological challenge of bala
 ncing civilian and military careers:\nThis is an occupational health persp
 ective about the different psychosocial experiences of regulars and reserv
 ists in both routine duties and in operational deployment. The implication
 s for clinical practice relate to Defence Medical appreciating the reinteg
 ration of reservists to home and work lives outside military duties\, comm
 unication between NHS GPs\, military healthcare and other services\, and r
 ecognition of the strength and assets of military service.\n\n*Mental heal
 th and wellbeing of UK minority ethnic veterans: the experience of Gurkha 
 and Fijian ex-service personnel:\nWhilst the mental health of veterans has
  been extensively researched largely through the diagnosis of PTSD\, littl
 e study has been conducted on ethnic minorities who have served in the UK 
 armed forces. A recent investigation of Gurkha and Fijian veterans\, which
  includes both quantitative and qualitative elements\, explored whether di
 scriminatory policies established in time of Empire continue to influence 
 management\, terms and conditions of employment and access to social servi
 ces. Although a series of reforms from 2007 have addressed financial provi
 sions and citizenship\, the study found that elements of discrimination re
 main\, including barriers to promotion\, career development and historic p
 ensions. These are expressed both through symptoms of mental and physical 
 health but in ways that are not immediately apparent.\n\n\nSpeakers:\nDr J
 eya Balakrishna (Ministry of Defence)\, Prof Edgar Jones (Kings College\,
