Key components for a holistic assessment of OCD. A compass for OCD sufferers

Saturday 9th November 2024

10:30am - 11:30am

Speaker

Dr Ilenia Pampaloni, Consultant Psychiatrist at National and Trust wide OCD/BDD Service.
The presentation will be facilitated by a member of the OCD-UK team.

Presentation subject

This presentation will outline the essential elements of a holistic OCD assessment as described in the "Global OCD Assessment" paper, with a focus on empowering service users to effectively navigate their treatment within the NHS. The session will cover:

Ideal Assessment Model: We will detail the components of a holistic OCD assessment, emphasizing the importance of various psychometric tools and a multidisciplinary approach. Although ideal, we acknowledge the challenges faced within the NHS system.

Empowering OCD sufferers: Attendees will learn how to actively engage in their assessment processes. This includes understanding what information to present to healthcare providers, essential questions to ask, and how to advocate for comprehensive care.

Participants will gain a deeper understanding of the holistic assessment process for OCD and learn strategies to enhance their interactions with healthcare professionals, with the view of improving their treatment outcomes and access to service.

Make a donation to OCD-UK

We know that right now we are all living through difficult times financially, and it’s for that reason we have chosen to make our conference free access to watch live. Whilst the conference is free access, the charity does still have to pay Zoom and Vimeo license fees which power our online conference, so if you are in a position to make a donation of any amount, we would be incredibly grateful. It is only through donations, and the participation of our supporters fundraising activities that OCD-UK can survive, so we remain incredibly grateful for your consideration.
