Enormous news for the ACT community. UK’s NICE guidelines (the toughest of the tough despite their name) now recommends ACT or CBT for chronic pain! Wow 😀. No other psychosocial methods (relaxation, biofeedback, mindfulness, psychotherapy, etc) made it.

Are women more likely to report or more likely to experience symptoms of perceived food tolerance? A thought provoking discussion following a talk by @cdeeps11 on a role of psychological factors in PFI #dclinpsy @KingsDClinPsy

[Dr Leila Jameel @LJammers]

Really enjoying hearing the varied research of my cohort @KingsDClinPsy - so far we’ve had talks looking at supporting people with neurodevelopmental profiles and now we are hearing about clinical health psychology, with research examining access to perinatal services #dclinpsy

[Dr Leila Jameel @LJammers]

Incredible research from @DrSusanCarroll examining psychological adjustment in MRKH - using her personal lived experience to inform her professional work. Well done 👍 @KingsDClinPsy #dclinpsy
