Over the past three years there has been significant development of the Open Dialogue approach from Western Lapland in the NHS and in public mental health services internationally (see the home page for more information about the approach). Open Dialogue UK has been working for the past four years to further this development, and 10 trusts are now represented on one of our two training programmes (largely teams from Early Intervention in Psychosis and Crisis/Home Treatment services). For more details on our training programmes planned for 2017 please see here.

Over the course of 6 days, a variety of NHS professionals, along with Nick Putman, founder of Open Dialogue UK, will be travelling across the UK to introduce the work that they are doing to develop the Open Dialogue approach. All of these practitioners are participating in one of our training programmes. The following professions will be represented at this event: psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, nursing, social work and peer support – see below for biographies of participants (please note: some of the professionals will not be attending every seminar, but will be included via video footage when they cannot attend in person).

The seminar will serve as an introduction to the Open Dialogue approach, the work that is being done in the NHS, and the trainings that are underpinning these developments (see programme below for further details). We are running this seminar at a low cost in the hope that everyone who wishes to attend will be able to.

To see feedback on our previous seminars, please visit this page on the Open Dialogue UK website.
