£32.40 for NHS, charities, universities

Introduction

It is becoming increasingly acknowledged that a greater emphasis on the integration of routine outcome monitoring within both clinical practice and supervision may optimise patient outcomes. Currently evidence suggests the use of routine outcome monitoring and feedback can not only improve treatment outcomes but also the efficiency through which psychological therapy services are delivered (de Jong et al., 2023). To achieve this not only requires the collection of session-by-session outcome measures, but also the integration of outcome feedback in the therapy process and clinical supervision to successfully guide treatment. This workshop will provide guidance on how to effectively integrate routine outcome monitoring feedback into clinical practice and supervision to help improve patient outcomes.


The event will be equivalent to 2 hrs of CPD.

About the presenter

I have been a BABCP accredited cognitive behavioural psychotherapist for over 17 years. During this time, I have worked as a senior therapist, supervisor, operational lead and deputy clinical director in Talking Therapies and have supervised on PG Dip CBT courses. I have special interest in CBT treatment for anxiety disorders (OCD, BDD), recurrent depression, long-term health conditions (LTCs) and transdiagnostic processes.

I am also a clinical academic affiliated with Keele University focusing on practice-based research. My research interests focus on personalised mental health treatment to support improvement to patient care and outcomes. In particularly, practice-based evidence evaluating and predicting outcomes to support treatment delivery, for example, progress feedback. I also have a specific research interest in LTCs and health inequalities and its impact on therapeutic outcomes.

Who should attend

This workshop will benefit clinicians who supervise psychological wellbeing practitioners, cognitive behavioural therapist and other modalities of psychological treatment working in Talking Therapies. It is also relevant for clinical Leads and service managers involved in the delivery of Talking Therapy services.

The BACP Low Intensity SIG are interested in the impact of clinical contact hours on Low Intensity/Wellbeing Practitioner wellbeing. This questionnaire contains six multi-choice questions and a free text box for you to share your experiences. The answers to these questions will help the BABCP SIG plan how to meet CPD topics and other developments within the SIG.  The SIG hope to produce a write up of the answers to this questionnaire to be shared with SIG members and to be used in training.
