Just completed an incredibly helpful and clinically relevant workshop on compulsive checking and pathological doubting. Excited to apply the learning in clinic. Thank you @AdamRadomsky and @OCTC_Oxford

@ocdaction Really excited to be part of this fantastic conference. I’m hoping to offer some insights into OCD for young people, as well as strategies for accessing and getting the best out of therapy

Thanks to all the amazing staff at @OxfordHealthNHS for making this happen

[Sasha @DrSWalters]

@AshleyFulwood Totally agree. I have successfully worked with many under 12’s with OCD with an adapted 1:1 CBT intervention but parental involvement is key. Many services may offer parent only tx for u12s. We’re currently reviewing the literature to explore this qu & highlight key adaptations

@drclairlawson @OCTC_Oxford @psalkovskis This is an excellent question to which the answer should be in the link but I can see that it is not, apologies for this. It will likely be 9-4.30 but let me confirm with my colleagues and I’ll get back to you.
