Behavioural Treatment for Tics is used as the treatment for children and adults with tics and Tourette Syndrome (TS).
Course Directors:
Dr Tara Murphy
Event Overview:
We acknowledge that there is a shortage of therapists trained to deliver this treatment for people with tics and TS, and so in order to address this, the Tourette Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital has put together a 2-day package of training for clinicians within NHS Trusts across the country.
Learning Objectives:
- The training will be most helpful for those with training and experience of delivering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and behavioural therapy with children.
- Awareness and training using gold standard assessment measures and theoretical and practical training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Habit Reversal Training (HRT).
- Included in the training is the opportunity for two online group consultation sessions where clinicians can bring cases for discussion and reflect on ways to further improve the delivery of treatment. The supervision will need to be completed within 6 months of the training
- The training will provide an information and Q&A session with Consultant Psychiatrist about the role of medication in TS.
Who should attend:
For professionals from disciplines such as Psychology, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Speech and language therapy, Paediatrics, Psychiatry and Neurology.
