SASOP HEADLINE NOVEMBER 2018 EDITORIAL During my tenure as SASOP President from 2010 to 2012, I highlighted the need for us, as a society, to improve our communications, both “inbound” and “outbound”. I recognized, as have my successors, the vital role that effective communication plays in the function of a professional organization such as SASOP. Over the years, we have continued to improve our strategies both ways as the need to communicate with our members and the public has increased. As the SASOP newsletter, Headline has been instrumental in keeping our members abreast of what is happening within subgroups, at board level and has highlighted the achievements of individual psychiatrists. SEPTEMBER SAW THE CULMINATION OF THE TERM OF OFFICE OF PROF BERNARD JANSE VAN RENSBURG AND HIS TEAM AT THE 19 TH SASOP CONGRESS HELD IN PRETORIA. THE MEETING THAT WAS ORGANIZED BY THE FREE STATE SUBGROUP WAS SUCCESSFUL NOT ONLY IN TERMS OF THE ACADEMIC CONTENT AND ATTENDANCE, BUT ALSO AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR NETWORKING AND MEETING OF SOUTH AFRICAN PSYCHIATRISTS ACROSS THE WHOLE SPECTRUM, FROM PUBLIC TO PRIVATE PRACTITIONERS. It was also an opportunity to recognise the achievements of our colleagues at the SASOP Dinner. I am delighted that Prof van Rensburg, who is now the immediate SASOP Past President, has agreed to take over the role as Headline Editor from me. We agreed that the SASOP Publications serve not only as a means to communicate, but also as a way of preserving history. As 2018 draws to a close, we can look back on another momentous year for South African psychiatry, and it surely needs to be documented. I trust that this issue of Headline will give you an opportunity not only reflect, but also to look forward to a dynamic 2019. Dr Ian Westmore (Outgoing Editor) October 2018 A big word of thanks to Dr Ian Westmore for a great job done as Editor of the Headline years, during which he consistently ensured that pertinent information was captured in Prof Bernard Janse van Rensburg a format enabling effective communication with SASOP members. Also to Professor Christopher Szabo, editor of South African Psychiatry (SAP), with whom the SASOP has had an agreement for the past four years to publish Headline as a regular feature. During this time, the SAP has firmly established itself in terms of its aim to connect the discipline of Psychiatry nationally by providing a hub for exchanging news, views and reports and as such, has become the living account of life in and memory of the South African Psychiatry fraternity. Prof Bernard Janse van Rensburg (Incoming Editor) October 2018 90 * SOUTH AFRICAN PSYCHIATRY ISSUE 17 2018
SASOP HEADLINE 1. NEW SASOP PRESIDENT Prof Bonga Chiliza has taken over the reigns of SASOP as the new President at the conclusion of the SASOP AGM held on the 23 rd September 2018. Bonga is an associate professor/chief specialist and head of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and his many other involvements and achievements include being the Deputy Editor of the South African Journal of Psychiatry, being a member of the College of Psychiatrists’ Council and CMSA Senate, serving on a number of NGO Boards, including the SA YMCA and Life Choices, as well as being one of the Founding Directors of Harambee Medical Consulting and the African Global Mental Health Institute. IN HIS ADDRESS DURING THE SASOP 2018 CONGRESS DINNER, BONGA IDENTIFIED THREE PRIORITIES FOR THE NEXT TERM OF OFFICE, INCLUDING: (1) STRENGTHENING OF A PUBLIC- PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP WITHIN SASOP; (2) EARLY CAREER PSYCHIATRY AND PRACTITIONERS; AND (3) CONTINUED LIAISON AND COOPERATION WITH SASOP’S SOCIAL CONTRACT ALLIANCE PARTNERS. Janse van Rensburg (Past-President), Dr A Lachman (Hon. Secretary), Dr I Chetty (Hon. Treasurer), Dr JP Roux (National Convener Private Sector Group) and Dr K Marooganye (National Convener Public Sector Group) - congratulations and best wishes! Incoming SASOP BOD - Absent: Drs S Seape, Dr JP Roux, Dr K Marooganye] You have the opportunity to read more about these priorities for the 2018-2020 term of office, in the President’s Letter section below. Outgoing SASOP BOD - Absent: Drs S Seape 3. FROM THE PRESIDENT - SASOP PRESIDENT’S LETTER, NOVEMBER 2018 Dear SASOP members, The three priorities during my presidency will be to strengthen public sector psychiatry, build up public private partnerships, and focus on early career psychiatrists. Bernard and Bonga Bonga’s speech at Congress Diner 2. NEW SASOP BOARD OF DIRECTORS 2018 TO 2020 Similarly, the new SASOP Board for the next term of office has been introduced. They are: Prof B Chiliza (President), Dr S Seape (President-Elect), Prof ABR (1) Strengthening Public Sector Psychiatry. I think the time is right for SASOP to have a renewed and strengthened Public Sector Psychiatry Leadership. Recent events have called upon our leadership to rise and answer the call for advocating on behalf of our mental health care users (MHCU) and our profession. The Life Esidimeni Tragedy led to the death of 144 MHCU following the Gauteng Marathon Project. The whistleblowing of alleged human rights abuses at Tower Hospital in the Eastern Cape led to an investigation by the Ombud’s office. SOUTH AFRICAN PSYCHIATRY ISSUE 17 2018 * 91
