Dear colleaguesDear colleagues
The EMDR UK annual conference (15th to 16th March 2024 York) is rapidly approaching.
It will be a wonderful opportunity to visit this historically interesting and cultural city known for the iconic York Minster and architecture from medieval times, its magnificent Georgian town houses, and the Victorian railway station. There is much to be gained professionally and socially from attending the conference.
When planning the programme, we are informed by members expressed interests and have commissioned a full programme of international and nationally renowned presenters who will inspire and enrich our knowledge and clinical skills. We have a full two days showcasing current research in EMDR and continuing the theme of working with specific client groups.
Our patron Sir Terry Waite will give an address featuring his work for the release and rehabilitation of hostages. We have clinical workshops and a reinstated Child and Adolescent stream. We are particularly delighted that our main presenter on Friday is Femke Bannink Mbazzi who will be running a major two-part workshop addressing culture and cultural adaptations in EMDR treatment; and on Saturday Ludwig Cornil and Olivier Van Limbergen will present a workshop on treating relational trauma with EMDR.
We are also delighted that we will be re-introducing poster presentations this year. The deadline for abstracts for posters is 31 December 2023. Please contact the Association research officer if you would like further information. researchofficer@emdrassociation.org.uk
It is now established that EMDR UK conferences are hybrid; this offers greater choice and flexibility to meet the needs of Association members and it reduces the global footprint of national association events. A large venue has been chosen in York, with numbers capped to ensure a spacious environment for delegates and exhibitors; book early if you wish to attend in person. For those further away you may choose to attend via our professionally managed online platform which will enable live participation throughout the conference.
12 EMDR CPD credits will be awarded for the full conference. The conference will be recorded and available for registered delegates to view for up to 28 days post conference.
The EMDR Association has committed to planting five trees for every delegate registered and you will also have the opportunity to participate in this carbon reduction initiative at the point of registration.

Eminent International speakers in the field will be presenting on this interesting and engaging study day. EMDR UK support team will be managing this event and all surplus funds raised will be donated to the EMDR Association UK designated research fund. The event is charged at £50 for EMDR Association Members and £100 for Non-Members.
As the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic hit the South Tees NHS Trust hospitals in North East England, a timely, accessible and resource efficient approach to support frontline healthcare staff was essential. G-TEP (Group Traumatic Events Protocol, Shapiro 2013) offered a workable solution to treat staff with fresh trauma experiences as well as ongoing traumatic stress. As the only EMDR trained professional within the staff support team Amie worked fast to roll out multi-tiered EMDR-informed support. This included campaigns to promote organization wide stabilization and the 3P Programme (using the G-TEP) to support staff who were most in need. In this session you will hear about the implementation of this work and from the staff members themselves who have benefitted from taking part.
Cost: £25 for EMDR Association members. £50 for non-members

How to use the EMDR DeprEnd protocol
Dr. Arne Hofmann and Dr. Maria Lehnung
12th May 2021 0845am start – 1230pm finish
Severe depression is one of the most common mental disorders and affects between 15-20 % of the general population in their lifetimes. Although many interventions exist, the treatment results are often less than satisfactory. High relapse rates (ranging at 50% after two years), unsatisfactory remissions and suicidal risks are among the major problems.
A growing number of studies shows that stressful life events play a major role also in depressive disorders. Therefore, EMDR comes more and more into focus as a new intervention tool in the treatment of depressive disorders. In the last 10 years our study group has contributed to the 10 randomised controlled studies that show that EMDR is at least equal to CBT treatment in depression (equivalence) but seems to result in more complete remissions. EMDR may therefore be a great contribution to the treatment of depression and also lead to a decreased risk of relapses.
£40-75.
