About the course

CBT framework

Approximately one-third of outpatient neurology clinic attendances are patients reporting functional neurological symptoms. (Source: FND Hope UK.) Nationally there are limited sources of treatment and support for this client group and yet health professionals regularly see patients with FND within their services.

This one-day Maudsley Masterclass aims to support health professionals to feel more able to manage patients with FND symptoms by using effective, evidence-based CBT techniques. (Goldstein et al, 2004)

This course is open to health professionals who have an interest in learning more about CBT and how this can help patients gain improved management of their FND symptoms, in the hope of improving their quality of life.

This workshop will utilise various teaching models: presentations, case studies, live case examples, as well as interactive discussion. Delegates are encouraged to bring their own case examples for the purpose of an open discussion around barriers and difficulties when treating this client group. This will be facilitated by an expert panel of clinicians working in specialist FND services within Neuropsychiatry Outpatients at Maudsley Hospital and the Lishman Unit at the Bethlem Hospital.

The fusion of Education and the Health Service is extremely exciting and now indeed essential; I am thrilled that St Mary’s is at the forefront of this. I am truly invigorated to disseminate many nuggets of wisdom and tangible strategies gained yesterday to my entire school community.
