Massive well done to the organisers of MPFT NHSTT conference and the people providing the innovative evidence based TT services. Great also to see the launch of the community outreaching therapy buses @mpftnhs

Palvisha Iqbal talking about 'how to make practice more inclusive'. Cultural responsiveness important. 'To truly understand others we need to see things from their perspective' 'biases are conscious not unconscious and we all have them' 'social graces' = understanding difference

Gr8 opening key note from Prof David Clarke, key to the development of IAPT.
Key messages I took; engagement difficulties impact progress, raise hope and support socialisation to tx, enhance assessments to identify problem, 9% never start therapy, +waiting times impact outcomes

Great to be Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent's Annual Midsummer conference for talking therapies. Excellent welcome address from Dr Sarah Watts with great leadership discussion & example of influential LFC leaders. Good leadership breeds success. Great conference & innovations shared from MPFT NHSTT

So it's a wrap, what a conference, rich reflections learning. Leave feeling exhausted yet re-energised if that makes any sense.

Special thanks to Fi absolutely loved co-chairing in our first outing as co-presidents of #BIGSPD25
Next stop Blackpool #BIGSPD26

We did it again, early 5 miles bagged before final day at conference. Nice to see others from the #BIGSPD25 delegation also out running 🙌

Morning run ahead of Day 2 of #BIGSPD25 along the Liverpool waterfront. Excellent programme of speakers today.

Proud to open up this years BIGSPD conference with Fi in our 1st year as Co-presidents. Gr8 programme of speakers. I hope all our delegates have an amazing conference, develop new connections and networks to make a real difference to practice and the research which supports practice #BIGSPD25
