Colleagues from across the country gathered together at this online course to become advocates for best practice in NHS Talking Therapies services. With focus on how you can adjust interventions for older adults in response to the pandemic, attendees gained new skills for working with LTCs and looked at how to improve therapeutic outcomes for those with cognitive deficits. Those who joined us logged off equipped with practical strategies to improve client experience and service access to better serve the community of older people.
