Hi ,
Well summer is definitely here in the UK and Ireland. Potentially, a chance to relax and reflect and take some time to do the simple things in life, such as a walk in the park, relaxing in the garden or just getting your head round the latest professional body registration hurdle.
For those of you who missed it, the BABCP webinar on clinical wills helped clarify some key issues. We are running our special workshop again on meeting the new compulsory accreditation requirement on the 3 July (details below). Come along and make sure you stay on top of this issue so you can relax ahead of the 1 Sep deadline.
In other news, we hear that the police are stepping back from mental health callouts. Additionally, data published this past week indicate that the number of emergency referrals to crisis teams for young people is the highest in more than four years, that there were more than 300 days spent by under 16-year-olds on adult wards and that Mental Health Act detentions are at their second highest point since 2019. On a more postive note researchers at University College London have found that a daily nap can be good for the brain. However, before you hit your own snooze button, sit up straight, eyes wide open and have a look at our July webinars ...
Treating Health Anxiety
Saturday, July 1 · 9:30 - 11:30am BST
Health anxiety is a condition that can affect anyone.

This workshop will provide practical tools and techniques to help your clients.

Creating Your Clinical Will
Mon, 3 Jul 2023 10:30 - 12:30 BST (2 hours CPD Certificate)
It is no surprise that this has become one of our most popular events this year. As of 1 September 2023, all BABCP Accredited and Registered members will be required to ensure that an arrangement is in place to manage closure of their clinical practice in the event of their serious illness, death, suspension, dismissal or other sudden clinical incapacity. This means that either your employer will need to have appropriate arrangements and contingency plans in place, or that you have a formal Clinical Will document that provides instructions to an executor in the event that you are no longer able to continue practicing.
This workshop will explain the background to this issue, confirm the BABCP requirements, help you reflect on how to develop your clinical will, provide guidance on the appropriate content and structure and how to advise your clients about its relevance to them. Attendees will be provided with an illustrative template to help develop their Clinical Will. We will also update colleagues on the information given at the BABCP Q&A session earlier this month. We will have contributions from Professional Clinical Wills and ClinicalWill.app.
Clinical Wills Services
Given the challenges of designing, managing and maintaining digital wills, I would like to make subscribers aware of two services which have been developed to help therapists manage this complex area. While we are not endorsing either service, we do believe they offer solutions which are worth looking at (we are not receiving any payment for bringing this to your attention, we just thought it would be of interest).
