Presented by Professor Kamryn Eddy, Harvard Medical School. Chaired by Lucy Serpell, Professor of the Psychology of Eating Disorders at UCL.

Learn to treat ARFID using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy:

Since Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) was first described in the DSM 5, clinical researchers in the field of eating disorders have been working to develop treatments for both young people and adults with the condition. CBT for ARFID (CBT-AR) has been developed by Jennifer Thomas and Kamryn Eddy and shows great promise for the treatment of this challenging disorder. In her second ever UK training in CBT-AR Dr Thomas will offer eight hours of training across two afternoons via Zoom. Attendees will learn how to engage patients and families, explain the treatment approach, create a personalised formulation and plan treatment to support those with ARFID to increase the range and amount of foods they are able to consume and, where necessary, to restore to a healthy weight. The approach clearly specifies how to target early change and to tackle maintaining mechanisms in order of priority. 

UCL Part-time ONLINE course: Becoming a Senior EP -  Making sense of the role.

A systems thinking approach to the management and leadership of psychological services

This 8-session course addresses a career progression need for EPs engaging with a management role. It is intended for (i) recently appointed senior EPs (management or specialist) and (ii) EPs with 3 years experience who are considering a senior EP role. It is designed to develop and clarify ideas about psychological service management and develop participants’ confidence that progression to management is the right route for them. The course will provide structured input on management and leadership from a purposive systems perspective. Alongside this there will group work which explores the ideas presented and opportunities to tackle “here and now” dilemmas in a secure “reflecting team” setting.

Online management and leadership training via Zoom has been successfully delivered since the time of the pandemic with participants from all areas of the UK and internationally. Feedback regarding on line presentations and small group work has been consistently positive.

This will be the final presentation of the course from UCL.

Online Course

What is Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST)?

CST is an evidence-based group treatment for people with mild to moderate dementia. It involves 14 or more sessions of stimulating, themed activities, based around more complex principles including learning theory and person-centred care. CST can be extended into a longer-term treatment and can be offered to a range of clients including outpatients and people in residential or day care.

What does the training involve?

Training is interactive, involving group exercises, role-play and video observation as well as some ‘teaching’. It is aimed to equip people with the knowledge required to deliver group CST in their work setting.
