We host high quality clinically focused events delivered by international experts that change clinical practice

Throughout the year, the Centre hosts numerous conferences, bringing together expertise from practitioners, academics and researchers. We run conferences on wide range of topics, and these include:

  • ‘Trauma-Informed Care in Practice’ - an annual international conference which focuses on developing knowledge and informing clinical practice for practitioners working with people with histories of complex and multiple trauma.
  • ‘Working with Moral Injury in Healthcare Settings’ – a one-day event exploring the conceptual and clinical issues of ‘moral injury’, discussing current evidence and examples of good practice.
  • 'Meeting trauma needs in secure care services' - a one-day event focusing on trauma needs in secure mental health services, and effectively addressing such needs and their important implications for treatment efficacy and outcomes.

What is a Delphi workshop?

Delphi studies are a highly valuable group decision-making research method that can generate expert consensus guidance on a range of issues. They are incredibly useful for exploring topics and developing clinical and research guidance and formulating policies for working with underserved populations, for whom there is often little evidence to draw on from the literature. This workshop is designed for beginners, and those with some working knowledge.

Research Skills Workshops 

In May 2022, the Centre for Developmental and Complex Trauma launched a series of ten research skills workshops available to clinicians and those with an interest in research within the Charity. The workshops cover a wide range of research methodologies and skills relevant to conducting service development and evaluation projects, as well as research, in clinical settings. The events have a strong ‘learning through practice’ focus to ensure that skills can be translated into the workplace.

We have since broadened the scope of our workshops which are now open to individual's from outside of St Andrew's. These events are tailored to a range of competencies and audiences, including clinicians (pre-qualified and qualified), academics, and undergraduate and postgraduate students. Full details of each workshop can be found in the brochure below, and the booking form is also available for download.
