On March 19th, as part of the Consultation-Liaison Psychology course in the Master's degree in Psychology of Well-being and Health Promotion (specialization in Clinical and Health Psychology), a roundtable was held with three invited psychologists, specialists in the field of Consultation-Liaison Psychology. The event aimed to foster an exchange of experiences and reflections on the practices of psychology in hospitals in the Lisbon region.

The roundtable, titled "Contexts and Areas of Intervention in Consultation-Liaison Psychology in Portugal," featured the participation of three psychologists (specialists in clinical and health psychology): Dr. Vera Reynaud da Silva (Hospital dos Capuchos), Dr. Rita Alves (Hospital Prof. Doutor Fernando da Fonseca), and Dr. Mariana Narigão (Hospital Santa Cruz and Hospital São Francisco Xavier).

During the event, the psychologists answered questions prepared by the students, covering topics ranging from the specific challenges of intervention in hospital settings to the strategies adopted to support patients and the medical team. The initiative provided students with a direct insight into the work carried out in real contexts, deepening their knowledge of the role of psychology in promoting well-being within hospital units.
