Bringing together national and international academics, clinicians, and practitioners, our annual Founder's Day conference is held to recognise and continue the legacy of our founder, Jonathan Swift, a pioneer in mental healthcare.

Taking place in St Patrick's University Hospital, Dublin 8, the 2019 conference focuses on the theme of anxiety. Our plenary lecture comes from Professor David Clark of Oxford University, who will be discussing effective psychological treatments for anxiety and the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) Programme.

Professor Mark Freeston of Newcastle University will present on the role of intolerance of uncertainty in understanding, formulating and treating anxiety in anxiety disorders and beyond, while Professor Helen Kennerley of the Oxford Cognitive Therapy Centre will explore anxiety and dissociation.

Meanwhile, Professor Brian Fitzmaurice, Course Director of Trinity College Dublin's Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Diploma, will examine the challenges and opportunities of CBT training for anxiety disorders in the Irish context.  

Further speakers and programme details will be announced as the event approaches.
