Meeting the trauma needs of people with intellectual disabilities

People with intellectual disabilities are significantly more likely to be exposed to trauma and adversity across the lifespan, yet they are significantly under represented in trauma frameworks, services and innovations. This event brings together national and international experts to offer a clinically focused programme to inform our understanding of the trauma needs and treatment approaches for this population. This focus, as well as presentations describing  innovations in the trauma field will be of particular use to clinicians and applied researchers. #TNPID2023

RADiANT Inaugural Event

• The first RADiANT event, hosted by Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Trust, held in Hatfield on 13th June 2019 was a great success.  
• RADiANT was introduced by Professor Asif Zia and Professor Sabyasachi Bhaumik, and our convenor Dr Regi Alexander. Following that, we had presentations from a number of fantastic speakers on a range of topics.  
• Over 100 delegates attended, from a range of multidisciplinary backgrounds. Most importantly, a number of our advisory board Experts by Experience joined us, and their presentation, contributions to the panel discussions and question and answers were invaluable.  
• We think this conference set a fantastic tone for our launch, and we are looking forward to working with our members to achieve our aims.
