Afternoon

GTEP Presentations with John Mulhall & John Davies –

GTEP in ICU during COVID & GTEP with staff in an Inpatient setting

John Mulhall, Cognitive Analytic Psychotherapist, Supervisor & Trainer, & EMDR Consultant. Presenting on the GTEP (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol) project, a single session group based intervention, outlined in the attached paper (view document) was conceived, co-facilitated by John, and his colleagues, at the St Aubyn Centre in Colchester. The Centre is an NHS adolescent inpatient psychiatric setting. John will be presenting and discussing aspects of the project, and its findings.

A further study will be presented by Dr John Davies, Psychologist & EMDR Practitioner, on using GTEP with patients and staff in ICU during COVID-19. John has a particular interest in using this approach with critical care inpatients who have been identified as being at increased risk of developing ICU-related psychological morbidity, including PTSD. He has similarly used RTEP and elements from GTEP to support staff during the height of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
