Oxford Events, the new replacement for OxTalks, will launch on 16th March. From now until the launch of Oxford Events, new events cannot be published or edited on OxTalks while all existing records are migrated to the new platform. The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
Considerable progress has been made in developing effective psychological therapies for common mental health problems but these treatments were rarely available to the public. The Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) programme aims to overcome this problem by training a large number of therapists in the latest techniques and deploying them in new, specialist services for depression and the anxiety disorders. A unique feature of the services is that outcomes are recorded and publicly reported on 99% people who have a course of treatment (currently 640,000 per year). The talk covers the background to the establishment of IAPT and the way it has used the dataset to progressively improve the quality and effectiveness of the services.
Professor David M Clark holds the Chair of Experimental Psychology at University of Oxford and is the National Clinical and Informatics Advisor for the IAPT programme and is one of the original architects of the programme. He is well-known for his research on the understanding and treatment of anxiety disorders, especially panic disorder, social anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. Recognition of his work includes Lifetime Achievement Awards from the British Psychological Society and the American Psychological Association.
