Who we are:
The Tic Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) is a National Specialist Service that cares for children and young people up to the age of 17 years. We have a specialist multi-disciplinary team that works closely with other departments within GOSH and routinely shares the care of children with local services. There is a strong research collaboration between GOSH, University College London and other Tourette syndrome clinics in the UK. We have an international reputation for clinical research into treatments for Tourette syndrome.
Specialist training in assessment and formulation of tics:
We know that many professionals working with populations who have tics would value training in assessment and formulation skills. In response to this, we have put together a one-day training package for clinicians or researchers who work in this field. It is appropriate for colleagues working in the UK or internationally. Attendees will learn to distinguish between Tourette syndrome, Functional Tics and the overlap with other differentials, practice skills in using standardised assessment tools and consider case studies.
What the training will provide:
- A one-day training course suitable for professionals from disciplines such as Psychology, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Paediatrics, Psychiatry and Neurology.
- The training will be most helpful for those who regularly encounter young people with tics in their clinical work or research.
- The course will provide training of gold standard assessment measures, theoretical and practical training in assessment and formulation.
- The course will contain training videos, case study discussions, reference materials to use post-training and a certificate of attendance.
Who should attend:
Healthcare professionals from disciplines such as Psychology, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy, Paediatrics, Psychiatry and Neurology who have some experience working with young people who have tics.
Training:
The training will be delivered via a remote platform. Members of The Tic Service at Great Ormond Street Hospital will deliver the course. These are interactive sessions and there are opportunities ask questions and have discussions with the training team.
